Care Requirements

• Light: Thrives in bright, filtered light; essential for developing the deep, rich amber coloration and promoting reliable annual blooming.
• Temperature: A cool-growing variety; requires a clear night-time temperature drop to 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F) during the late summer and autumn to initiate flower spikes.
• Watering: Water generously and keep the growing medium moist during the main spring/summer growth period, reducing frequency in winter, allowing the mix to dry slightly between waterings.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity (50% to 60%); superior air circulation is vital, particularly when plants are grown in close proximity.
• Potting: Best planted in a specialized, coarse Cymbidium mix; plan to repot every two to three years to refresh the medium.
• Fertilizing: Utilize a high-nitrogen feed during the active growth period (Spring/Summer), switching to a low-nitrogen, high-potassium (bloom-booster) formula starting in late summer.
