Planting & Care Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation & Sowing:
   • Cymbidium orchids can be challenging to grow from seed as they require specific conditions to germinate. However, it’s possible with patience.
   • To start, use a sterile seed-starting mix or orchid-specific growing medium to sow the seeds. Since Cymbidium seeds are very fine, lightly press them into the soil without covering them.
   • Place the container in a warm, humid environment with a consistent temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C). A humidity dome or greenhouse setup is ideal.
   • Germination can take anywhere from 4-12 weeks depending on environmental conditions.
2. Transplanting & Growth:
   • After the seeds have germinated and seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots or directly into the ground in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
   • Cymbidium orchids prefer bright, indirect light and will thrive in areas where they get a few hours of sunlight each day but are shielded from direct midday sun.
   • Space plants at least 18-24 inches apart to allow for adequate growth and air circulation.
3. Maintenance:
   • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid letting the roots sit in water to prevent rot. Water the orchids thoroughly when the soil feels dry to the touch.
   • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, orchid-specific fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
   • Pruning: Remove spent flower spikes once the blooms have faded to encourage fresh growth and maintain plant health.
   • Repotting: Cymbidium orchids may need to be repotted every 1-2 years to prevent root crowding and refresh the growing medium.
4. Winter Care:
   • In colder climates (zones 7-11), Cymbidium orchids can be grown outdoors during warmer months but should be brought inside or placed in a greenhouse during winter.
   • Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) during the winter months, and ensure the plant still receives bright but indirect light.
5. Flowering:
   • Cymbidium orchids typically bloom once a year, often in late winter to early spring. The flowers can last several weeks, adding beauty to your indoor or outdoor space during the colder months.

Ideal For:

• Orchid Gardens: Cymbidium orchids make a stunning addition to any orchid collection or tropical garden.
• Indoor Planting: These orchids can be grown indoors in bright, indirect light, making them perfect for living rooms, kitchens, or office spaces.
• Greenhouses: Cymbidium orchids thrive in greenhouse environments, where humidity and temperature can be controlled.
• Patios & Decks: In warmer climates, Cymbidium orchids can be grown on patios, decks, or balconies, where they can be displayed in pots or hanging baskets.
• Flower Borders: Plant Cymbidium orchids in flower borders or beds for a tropical, exotic touch.
