It's Cymbidium Season ....
Now is the time of year these beautiful, indoor and outdoor, Cymbidium Orchids are in hardy bloom. Exotic Plants is full of a wide selection of colors and varietals of this strong orchid, for you to enjoy.
If well cared for these large, grassy, stemmed orchids, are known to thrive, both inside and outside, in the greater Sacramento area. The cymbidium orchid is known to be one of the hardiest, and tolerant of many weather fluctuations, watering types, and soil/nutrient levels.
Cymbidiums are happiest in a cool house or outdoors, and need good air circulation, they love a breeze, and don’t seem to be super concerned about the soil they are in, but want water often, that drains easily. They have large bulbs that store water and often need a large pot or transplanting if they are thriving and growing quickly.
When you water your orchids you'll need to maintain a moist medium but don't want to have a soggy medium. To check this, place your finger about an inch into the orchid medium and if it is dry then you will need to water your orchid.
Fertilizer should never be used when your cymbidium orchids are blooming because this could keep your plant from flowering well. If you think your orchid needs fertilizer you can use a nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium mixture of 20-20-20.
Because they are easy to care for inside or out, and have long lasting blooms, Cymbidium orchids make a great gift! As with any of our plants or blooms ... they quickly bring beauty and life to a home or office.
