How to care for it
- Keep it cool but never cold; don’t place it in front of an AC vent, as chill marks the petals.
- If stems come in water tubes, keep them topped up; otherwise re-cut and use a tall vase.
- Keep away from fruit; cymbidium is very ethylene-sensitive.
Did you know? Cymbidium is probably the oldest cultivated orchid, grown in China for about 2,500 years.
