Cymbidium goeringii | Noble Orchid| TLFP – 03

Cymbidium goeringii, commonly known as the noble orchid, Dwarf plant with pseudobulbs found below ground. Long, grass-like leaves with serrated edges. Spring-blooming flowers with green, yellow-green, or brown petals. Delicate and fragrant blooms held low amid the leaves.

Bright Light: Noble orchids thrive in bright light conditions throughout the year. Winter Sunlight: During winter, they can tolerate direct sunlight, but limit it to a few hours in the early morning or late afternoon. Summer Sun: In hot summer months, move them to an east-facing window to prevent leaf scorching. Signs of Excessive Light: Wrinkled leaves, brown shriveled leaf tips, or yellowing/fading leaves indicate excessive lighting.

Temperature: Daytime: Ideal temperatures range between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 30°C). Nighttime: Maintain a minimum night temperature of 50°F (10°C). Temperature Drop: A 15-degree temperature drop at night promotes blooming.

Watering: Summer: Water thoroughly once the potting medium is almost dry. Monitoring Dryness: Use your finger to check the dryness of the potting media. Weight Test: Lift the pot; judge its weight to determine when it needs watering. Frequency: Watering frequency depends on factors like pot size, root-bound status, and growing conditions. Morning Watering: Water in the morning to allow excess water to evaporate during the day. Avoid Set Schedules: Water based on the orchid’s condition, not a fixed schedule.
