Meet Cymbidium ‘King Arthur Green Giant’ × ‘Balkis Nevada’ — a commanding, show-stopping hybrid offered by O’Dowd’s Orchids. Crafted for collectors and floral designers who demand stature, durability, and unmistakable elegance, this cross combines robust growth with spectacular bloom presence. 5 inch pot.
Why this Cymbidium stands apart
Monumental inflorescences: Produces long, arching sprays densely packed with well-proportioned flowers — ideal for exhibition or premium cut-flower use.
Striking coloration and form: Flowers exhibit refined green tones with clear, contrasting lips and sharply defined petals that read as both modern and timeless.
Exceptional vigor: Inherits the Green Giant parentage for large, sturdy pseudobulbs and reliable seasonal performance — tolerant of variable conditions and excellent for long-term collection development.
Long-lasting blooms: Cut or potted, the flowers retain freshness for weeks, delivering extended enjoyment whether displayed at home, in events, or in commercial arrangements.
Collector’s appeal: A sophisticated addition for serious Cymbidium enthusiasts, this hybrid reflects our commitment at O’Dowd’s Orchids to source and offer superior-lineage plants.
Perfect for
Orchid collectors seeking a signature specimen
Floral designers wanting dramatic, long-lasting sprays
Gardeners looking for a reliable, showy winter-to-spring bloomer
Caring for your King Arthur Cymbidium requires bright, indirect light, consistently cool nights, and evenly moist—never waterlogged—growing medium; place it where it receives morning sun or filtered light and aim for daytime temperatures of 65–75°F with nights around 50–60°F to encourage robust growth and flowering. Use a well-draining orchid mix, water thoroughly when the top inch of bark feels dry, and provide humidity around 50–70% if indoor air is dry; good air circulation helps prevent rot and pests. Feed regularly with a balanced orchid fertilizer (one-quarter to half strength) during the active growth season and taper in winter, and repot every 2–3 years after flowering or when the medium breaks down, taking care not to bury the pseudobulbs. Inspect routinely for scale, mealybugs, and slugs, and remove spent flower spikes to focus energy on new growth—proper light, cool nights, steady moisture, and attentive feeding will keep your King Arthur vigorous and rewarding.
