Cymbidiums do not like to be disturbed often, preferably no more than once every 2-3 years.
Mature plants should therefore be planted in pots large enough to allow them to produce a lot of new growth.
How to care for Cymbidium at home
Cymbidium is a terrestrial orchid.
Unlike phalaenopsis and other epiphytes, they do not like direct sunlight and need more frequent watering and heavier soil that can retain moisture at the roots.
Orchid loves moist air very much. Ideally, the humidity percentage in the room should be kept at 55-60%.
To maintain this level, in summer the plant must be sprayed 3-4 times a day.
Also, the container with cymbidium can be placed on a tray with constantly wet pebbles.
The plant needs to be replanted when its pseudobulbs become crowded at the edge of the container.
How often should you water Cymbidium
Water Cymbidium abundantly during the growth of new pseudobulbs.
After the orchid blooms, reduce watering.
While the plant is resting, water only after the substrate has dried.
Watering begins when new growths reach 2-3 cm.
