Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of Cymbidium Paradisian Choice ‘Dreamer’, an exquisite miniature hybrid known for its luminous, buttercup yellow flowers. The segments are a near-pure, radiant hue, contrasted by a pale lip that often features a delicate dusting of soft pink or red spotting, like a touch of magic. Bred for its exceptional vigour and cascading spike habit, this clone is a reliable performer and a must-have for any collector seeking unique, space-saving elegance.

Care Requirements

• Light: Requires bright, filtered light for maximum flower production and strong yellow colour. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct, harsh summer sun.
• Temperature: Cool to Intermediate (10°C – 24°C). A distinct drop in night temperatures during Autumn (10°C-14°C) is essential for flower initiation.
• Watering: Water consistently and generously during the active growth season (Spring/Summer). Allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings, especially in Winter.
• Humidity: 50% to 70%. Good air circulation is required to maintain clean foliage and prevent flower spotting.
• Potting: Use a high-quality, free-draining, bark-based Cymbidium mix. This variety is suited for pots or, preferably, hanging baskets due to its spike habit.
• Fertilizing: Apply high-nitrogen feed during active Summer growth. Transition to a high-potassium bloom-booster from late Summer through Autumn.
