Cymbidium Mary Green ‘Lipstick’

Cymbidium Mary Green 'Lipstick' is a miniature hybrid Cymbidium selected for its naturally cascading spike habit and distinctive lip colouring. The Mary Green grex is an established Australian miniature hybrid; 'Lipstick' is a cultivar named for and selected on the basis of its bold deep pink to magenta lip — an intense contrast against the pale apricot-to-cream petals.

What to expect

• Flowering: Winter to spring. Cascading spikes carrying multiple flowers in cleanly descending sprays — effective when displayed elevated or in hanging baskets.
• Flowers: Pale apricot to cream petals with a bold, deep pink to magenta lip creating strong visual contrast along the spike. 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.
