Cymbidium orchids are stunning plants that require some specific care to thrive. Here are a few tips to help you keep your Cymbidium orchids looking their best:
Light: Place your Cymbidium orchid in a location where it can receive bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Temperature: These orchids prefer cooler temperatures, ideally between 50-70°F (10-21°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Make sure to protect them from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Watering: Water your Cymbidium orchid thoroughly when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry. Allow any excess water to drain away to prevent waterlogged roots.
Humidity: Cymbidium orchids enjoy humidity levels of around 50-70%. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the plant or using a humidifier.
Fertilizing: Feed your Cymbidium orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months.
Repotting: Repot your Cymbidium orchid every 2-3 years or when you see the potting mix breaking down. Use a well-draining orchid mix with plenty of bark.
By following these care tips, you can enjoy beautiful blooms from your Cymbidium orchid for years to come. If you have any specific questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at O'Dowd's Orchids for personalized advice. Happy orchid growing!
