A cymbidium orchids in 12" to 14" pots, bloom from February to May. Growing and care instructions included.

In their natural habitats, cymbidiums grow at the higher altitudes in the temperate zone of mid-Asia (China, Japan) down through southeast Asia and extending south of the equator with a number of species in Australia. The climatic conditions found there are also found at sea level in the coastal regions of California (USA), along the coast in the Mediterranean and in part of New Zealand and Australia as well as South Africa. They are also grown under greenhouse conditions in many other parts of the world. The cycle of cool nights and warm days during the spring months in theses regions is necessary for flower spike bud formation. Warmer weather in the summer enhances the growth and development of the flower spikes for the following season (winter into spring). Although they grow out-of-doors very successfully in theses areas alluded to above, most commercial nurseries producing cut flowers grow in cool greenhouses to protect flowers from inclement weather.
