Care Requirements

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light throughout the year; ensure the foliage is a light apple-green color for optimal flowering.
• Temperature: Requires cool to intermediate temperatures; a distinct drop in night temperature to 10°C–15°C (50°F to 59°F) in autumn is crucial for spike initiation.
• Watering: Keep the potting medium consistently moist during the active growth period (Spring/Summer), then reduce watering in cooler months, allowing the medium to approach dryness between applications.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity levels (50% or higher); maximize air movement to prevent disease, especially in dense foliage.
• Potting: Best grown in a free-draining, chunky Cymbidium-specific orchid mix; repot every two years or when the pseudobulbs reach the pot edge.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at half strength every one to two weeks during spring and summer, cutting back significantly or switching to a bloom booster in autumn.
