Care Requirements

• Light: Bright filtered light, avoiding harsh midday sun. Good air movement is beneficial for flower quality.
• Temperature: Cool to Intermediate (10°C – 24°C). The essential night-time drop in temperature during Autumn (10°C-14°C) is required for reliable flower initiation.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during the active growing season (Spring/Summer). Reduce frequency dramatically in Winter, allowing the mix to dry slightly between waterings.
• Humidity: 50% to 70% is optimal. Ensure good air circulation to prevent leaf and flower spot.
• Potting: Use a well-aerated, free-draining orchid mix suitable for Cymbidiums. Repot only when new growth meets the pot edge, typically every 2-3 years.
• Fertilizing: Apply high-nitrogen feed weekly at half-strength during the Summer growth phase. Switch to a high-potassium bloom-booster in late Autumn/Winter.
