We are delighted to be able to introduce you to the fascinating world of cymbidium orchids. These noble and sophisticated orchids are known for their extraordinary beauty and diversity and are very popular among plant lovers. Immerse yourself with us in the special features and characteristics of these enchanting plants as we give you an overview of our range and their unique characteristics.
With around 50 species from the countries of origin Japan, Australia and the South East Asian region, Cymbidium is probably one of the better known genera. However, it is not actually the species that are well known, but the hybrids. Mostly long-stemmed and large-flowered, they tend to grow in cooler regions. The modern hybrids are rather small-flowered but no less colourful and ideal for the temperate to warm windowsills.
Botanical characteristics of Cymbidium orchids
Cymbidium orchids are characterised by their robust stems and magnificent panicles of flowers. Their flowers can come in a variety of colours and shapes, from delicate pastel shades to bright, bold colours. These orchids are known for their longevity and sophisticated appearance and add an elegant touch to any room.
The location plays a crucial role. Place your Cymbidium orchids in a location with bright, indirect sunlight, such as an east or west-facing window, to support healthy growth. They prefer temperatures between 18°C and 24°C during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. This helps to create an ideal environment for the plant to thrive. Humidity is another important factor. Cymbidium orchids require moderate humidity, which can be provided by occasionally spraying the leaves or setting up a humidifier. This helps to avoid dryness and promote healthy growth. When watering, it is important to find a balanced approach. Water the orchids regularly, but not excessively. Allow the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Make sure that excess water can drain away easily.
The flowering period of Cymbidium orchids extends over several weeks to months, depending on the variety and the environmental conditions. It is important to remove faded flowers to stimulate the plant to produce new flowers. Regular inspection for signs of disease or pests is also advisable.
