How to grow pendent Cymbidiums and what you can grow with them!

[@1234leelee]

I love your passion for orchids, it's inspiring. I was recently given some divisions of cymbidiums from my mum, i think they might be the more upright variety. But i'm new to cyms so we'll see how i go! Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips & inspo, it's nice to find someone in my part of the world posting, much easier to apply your advice to my growing collection.

[@helloplantlovers]

Thank you - good luck!!

Lovely and informative. Im new to cyms so hang on every word.❤

[@helloplantlovers]

Thanks for watching - glad it was useful!

Love Cymbidiums. I live in Tropical S Florida and have a few in my collection. Your videos are very inspiring and helpful.

[@helloplantlovers]

Thanks for watching! There's some interesting hybrids using the tropical Australian native Cymbidium available now - I wonder if you're able to get them?

I love the pendant Cymbidiums Mathew😌🙏💖I have 3 varieties of Cymbidium, and I just lost one to rot, now that was because our summers here in Japan have temperatures at 37℃ almost daily and it was in late afternoon sun that stressed the poor plant and killed it. I now keep the other 2 under a large tree out of that heat. Fingers crossed that they do well, and they should. In winter I have to put them in a polythene greenhouse.

[@helloplantlovers]

Ah yes - late afternoon summer sun is vicious!

What a beauty!

Hey! That looks like Cymbidium Morialta ‘Morialta Falls’ 😮❤

Thanks for watching!

I found your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching ever since. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. The best orchid show ever! I live in Chadstone SE Melbourne and this is right up my ally. My daughter moved into a house a few months ago and was throwing away the last owners plants - to my horror I diiscovered 8 or 9 cymbidiums , all completely flooded with this winter rains, the leaves are all blackened and soggy. Ive no idea of their colour or how to look after them. I will be following your care videos to the letter. Hopefully I can resuce them thanks to you.

[@helloplantlovers]

Thanks for finding me. I'd start by letting them dry out then re-potting them in spring. Good luck!

I give my Zygo’s quite a lot more light than my Coelogynes and they flower regularly.

[@helloplantlovers]

There you go!

[@trishsmith2811]

Love love your beautiful Cym’s! My goodness I just love seeing your orchids in bloom! And of course all the information you provide. Even though I am not living in your climate I do enjoy your tutorials. I have 2 young Cymbidiums that have not bloomed yet. They are not the large cymbidiums but look like they are going to stay smallish. I can’t find any information on them. I was wondering if you knew anything about them? One is Aussie Dreamtime Pakkret and the other is Bungy Jumper X tinlasonlanum (not sure of that spelling- tag is old) alba. I have been doing my best to keep them happy but without knowing anything about them I just have to guess. You are a very talented orchid grower!

[@helloplantlovers]

Thanks for finding me! Well yours are two of the newer warmer growing hybrids with a tropical species ancestor! How interesting! These can probably take more light than their cooler cousins but I don't grow them so I couldn't really help. Try finding and an orchid group near you and see if any members are growing these warmer types and get their tips. Good luck - its a whole new interesting field of Cymbidium hybrids!

Stunning😍

[@helloplantlovers]

Thanks for watching!

[@bibicheknauf4163]

EVERY week😉

Strange that you can't get your Zygos to flower, I find them to be one of the easiest orchids to flower, You may need to increase the light on them, mine get quite a bit of light. If the foliage is dark green, I would up the light.

[@helloplantlovers]

I know - EVERYONE can flower Zygos.....not me! I have mine in much more light now...we'll see.

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Love both your lovely blooms, thanks for sharing the care tips and the gorgeous blooms. The information regarding same condition was useful so now I'm in the hunt for a good ceologeny! Which ceologeny has the strongest fragrance in your experience?

[@helloplantlovers]

Any of the easier to find ones will have a great fragrance....Unchained Melody....Cristata...and forms there of. Good luck!

I've been growing a Cymbidium Elegant Ice for 3 years. It has tons of psuedobulbs but has never flowered. I grow it out on my balcony all spring, summer and autumn and then bring it in for winter. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I live in finland which is humid and cold.

[@helloplantlovers]

Hmmmm.....could be that your interior is too warm over winter? Is there somewhere cooler but bright - a porch? where you could try it? In New York in winter I used to put orchids on a bright window sill close to the glass so they'd get the cold from the glass to counteract the central heating and that seemed to work. Good luck!

[@Meskarune]

@@helloplantlovers It could be. I have radiators under all my windows so there aren't really any cold window sills. Maybe I can try to keep one room cold, but homes in finland have ridiculous amounts of insulation and 4x layers of glass on the windows. It gets -30C outside in winter.

[@helloplantlovers]

@@Meskarune Oh dear....then Cymbidiums might just be in the too hard basket!
