Cymbidium Orchids are terrific plants to grow in California. In many areas of California, they can be grown outside. In all areas of the United States they can be grown inside with bright light, but not full sun all day. This 5 minute YouTube video is one I created to teach you about Cymbidiums and Cymbidium orchid care. When choosing a Cymbidium Orchid, you can choose a miniature Cymbidium or Standard Cymbidium. A miniature Cymbidium has leaves from 1-3 feet in length, while a standard Cymbidium has leaves 2-4 feet in length. There are many Cymbidium species available, and the one in this video is a hybrid Cymbidium. I prefer hybrid Cymbidiums as they generally bloom longer.

If you already have indoor types of Orchids, these may just fit in your collection. If you already know how to care for Orchids, adding Cymbidiums will be easy.

Cymbidium growing basics include not letting your Cymbidium plant get colder than 35 degrees F. A day temperature of 50-65 F is idea, with 85 degrees F meaning the Cymbidium will be needing misting. Ensure you repot every 2-3 years in fine fir bark. Repotting time is after blooming and new growth. Fertilize weakly for best results. Cymbidiums don’t like to dry out between waterings.
