Cymbidium Orchid

Cymbidium orchids are one of the most popular orchids available in Australia. Loved for their ease of care, hardiness, beauty and exotic style, they make a perfect gift. They originated in the mountainous regions of India and South Asia and prefer a temperate climate. Perfect in Sydney and Melbourne during the cooler months. 

If you have received a vase with Cymbidium Orchids from Pearsons Florist, you have a received a beautiful and long-lasting gift. Simply keep the water topped up and replace the water if it becomes discoloured. Place your vase in a bright space but not in direct sunlight and keep it out of drafts and away from heating or air conditioning. Flowers should last 2 - 3 weeks.

Cymbidium orchids are one of our favourite flowers to use during the winter months in our Sydney and Melbourne flower workshops. They have large and striking blooms that come in a wide variety of rich and variegated colours. From palest white and softest pink through to deep browns, bold burgundy or golden yellows, cymbidium orchids are stylish on their own or look fabulous mixed with other blooms.

If you have received a Cymbidium Orchid plant they are easy to care for. Water your cymbidium orchid plant weekly during the cooler months and more often during the warmer months - they may need water 2 to 3 times a week. But as with most plants check the soil first and make sure that your plant never sits in too much water. Make sure that the water is being absorbed between watering.

Cymbidiums like a bright and light environment. Not direct sunlight as this may burn the leaves. Cymbidiums prefer dappled light. They are fine indoors when they are flowering but will prefer to be outdoors on a verandah or under a tree during the non-flowering period.

Cymbidium Orchid plants are much admired for the beautiful shades of their blooms. Cymbidiums are available in many colours from dark burgundy, chocolate, dark and light pink, gold, orange, lemon, lime and white.
