The purpose of this study is to evaluate the suitable chemical and organic fertilizer management technique for the growth of Cymbidium orchid. The results of growth characteristic and flower quality showed that suitable fertilizer application could increase the growth and flower quality of Cymbidium orchid. Between the different chemical treatments F₁ (20-20-20), F₂ (10-30-20)and F₃ (which F₁ is applied at growth stage and F₂ is applied at reproductive stage), the growth characteristic, flower quality and leaf major nutrition content didn’t showed significant difference. However, the F₁ and F₂ treatments have slightly better performance. The treatments between different amount of organic fertilizer (0 and 25 grams/pot) showed significant difference. It is recommended that for 3-year-old Cymbidium orchid, the best fertilizer management technique for Cymbidium orchid cultivation is applied three times of organic fertilizer at 25 grams/pot, and leaf spraying every two weeks at amount of F₂ (10-30-20) or F₁ (20-20-20).

Key words: Cymbidium orchid, fertilization technique, chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer.
