Cymbidium Little Moonbeam ‘Snowflake’ 2n

Cymbidium Little Moonbeam 'Snowflake' 2n is a miniature hybrid Cymbidium selected for its naturally cascading spike habit and soft, pale floral tones. The Little Moonbeam grex is a well-regarded Australian miniature hybrid; 'Snowflake' is a named cultivar in diploid (2n) form — diploid Cymbidiums produce flowers that are typically smaller and more refined in scale than their tetraploid counterparts, with a natural, uncontrived flower character.

What to expect

• Flowering: Winter to spring. Cascading spikes carrying multiple flowers in a gentle, layered display — effective when displayed elevated or in hanging baskets.
• Flowers: Soft pale tones with a clean, refined presentation typical of diploid miniature Cymbidiums. Flower colour and spike count may vary slightly with plant maturity and seasonal conditions.
• Plant: Miniature size. Supplied in a 66mm pot as an established growing plant.

Growing notes

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Well-suited to southern Australian conditions. Requires cool autumn nights to initiate spiking.
• Light: Bright filtered light. 30–50% shade cloth or dappled outdoor shade. Avoid direct midday sun.
• Water: Water freely during spring and summer growth. Reduce frequency in winter while keeping the medium just moist.
• Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser fortnightly during the growing season. Taper off through late autumn and winter.
