☀️ Exposure
Cymbidiums love a lot of light, even direct, with good ventilation and humidity around 50%. After flowering (spring), they can be moved outdoors to a sunny spot. 🌞
🌡️ Temperatures
Cymbidiums flower best in cool environments: the ideal temperature is between 15 and 18°C. In summer, they can tolerate short periods up to 30°C, provided there is adequate humidity and good air circulation. 💨
To ensure flowering, they need a period at temperatures around 8-10°C (they can even tolerate near 0). For this reason, they do well outdoors until late October/early November.
💧 Watering
Water fairly often, keeping the substrate always slightly moist. The frequency depends on the temperature and type of substrate. The ideal ambient humidity is around 50% — they do not need particularly humid environments. In summer, if temperatures rise sharply, mist the leaves to cool the plant. 💦
During the outdoor period (autumn/winter), when temperatures drop to around 10°C, suspend watering. Gradually resume when the plant is brought back indoors, i.e., when the flower spikes appear.
⚗️ Fertilization
Fertilize every 15-20 days with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20), following the doses indicated on the package. 🌱
🪵 Substrate
Use a mix of medium-large bark and blonde peat. It is essential to ensure good drainage: place the larger pieces at the bottom of the pot. ♻️
