Cymbidium Little Moonbeam ‘Snowflake’ 2n

Cymbidium Little Moonbeam 'Snowflake' 2n is a miniature hybrid Cymbidium with a naturally cascading spike habit and soft, pale flowers. 'Snowflake' is a diploid (2n) clone, a good fit for growers who want a compact plant with arching spikes that show well when raised up or grown in a hanging basket.

About this plant

• Flowering: Winter to spring. Cascading spikes carry multiple flowers in a gentle, layered display.
• Flowers: Miniature, in soft pale tones with a clean presentation. Flower colour and spike count may vary slightly with plant maturity and seasonal conditions.
• Plant: Miniature Cymbidium, diploid (2n).

Growing conditions

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. It needs cool autumn nights to initiate spikes, and it is not suited to warm climates.
• Light: Bright filtered light. Use 30–50% shade cloth or dappled outdoor shade, and avoid direct midday sun.
• Humidity: Moderate to high.
• Water: Water freely during spring and summer growth. Reduce frequency in winter, keeping the medium just moist.
• Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser fortnightly during the growing season. Taper off through late autumn and winter.
