$45.00

Bold, radiant, unforgettable — meet the Cymbidium Here Comes Sunshine Tangerine x Red Beauty Princess Frederik x R46/04 Marie Bashir #1 from O'Dowds Orchids. Five inch pot.

This exceptional hybrid combines intense color, refined form, and robust growth habit into a single showstopper. Each bloom unfurls with a vivid tangerine-orange base threaded with warm red accents and a crystalline lip, creating a luminous palette that commands attention in any collection or display. Petals are broad and substantial, offering excellent substance for long-lasting vase life and exhibition quality.

Why collectors and designers love it:

  • Striking coloration: A rare, warm spectrum of tangerine and red that holds through temperature changes and under varied lighting.

  • Superior floriferousness: Multiple spikes produce dozens of well-spaced, sizable flowers — ideal for cutting and arranging or filling a conservatory display.

  • Strong growth: Vigorous, compact canes with healthy foliage; suitable for hobbyists and professional growers seeking reliability.

  • Versatile presence: Equally at home as a centerpiece, in a luxury floral commission, or as a distinguished addition to a curated collection.

From our greenhouse to your doorstep: Each plant is grown with expert care, clean-cultured, and shipped nationwide with secure packaging to ensure it arrives healthy and ready to thrive.

Caring for your Cymbidium Here Comes Sunshine means providing bright, indirect light, consistent moisture, and cool night temperatures to encourage strong growth and prolific flowering. Place the plant where it receives morning sun or filtered afternoon light; avoid harsh midday rays that can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the potting mix begins to dry, allowing good drainage to prevent root rot, and increase humidity with a tray of pebbles or regular misting during dry indoor conditions. Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the active growing season, tapering to monthly in cooler months, and repot every 2–3 years in a well-draining cymbidium mix to refresh medium and inspect roots. Provide cooler nights in the fall (around 50–55°F) to trigger bud set, and keep the plant in a draft-free location with good air circulation to reduce pests and disease.

Cymbidium ‘Here Comes Sunshine Tangerine’ — care that rewards you with vibrant, long-lasting blooms.

Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Morning sun or filtered afternoon light brings out the plant’s strongest growth and richest flower color. Avoid hot, direct midday sun that can scorch leaves.

Temperature: Cymbidiums prefer cool to intermediate temperatures. Daytime 65–75°F, nighttime 50–55°F promotes spike initiation and prolongs bloom time. A seasonal drop in night temperature in fall helps set next season’s flower spikes.

Watering: Keep the potting mix evenly moist during active growth and flowering; water thoroughly, then allow the top 10–20% of the mix to dry before watering again. Reduce frequency slightly after flowering. Use room-temperature, low-mineral water when possible.

Humidity & Airflow: Moderate humidity (40–60%) is ideal. Provide good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, especially around the crown and spikes.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or similar) at quarter to half strength every 1–2 weeks during spring and summer growth. Switch to a higher-phosphorus bloom formula or maintain balanced feed during spike development and flowering. Reduce feeding in winter dormancy.

Potting & Medium: Use a well-draining, chunky orchid mix (fir bark, perlite, charcoal) to support the plant’s roots and maintain aeration. Repot every 2–3 years after flowering or when the medium breaks down, preferably in spring as new growth begins.

Pruning & Maintenance: Remove spent flower spikes cleanly to direct energy into new growth. Trim away dead or damaged leaves. Keep watch for pests (scale, mealybugs) and treat promptly.

Bloom care: Support long, heavy flower spikes with stakes if needed. Cut flowers last well in a vase—cut stems at an angle and place in fresh water; change water every 2–3 days.

With bright light, cool nights, consistent moisture, and seasonal care, Cymbidium ‘Here Comes Sunshine Tangerine’ will reward you with showy, citrus-toned blooms season after season. O’Dowds Orchids ships nationwide and we’re happy to advise on any specific questions about your plant.
