cymbidium no flowering warm on Orchid
Quick answer
If your Orchid has cymbidium no flowering warm, the most likely cause is: Cool-growing Cymbidium orchids require significant day/night temperature differential to initiate flowering. Without cool night temperatures (10°C), plants remain vegetative and fail to produce flower spikes the following season.
Start here:
- 1. 1. Cool-growing Cymbidiums need 10°C (50°F) winter night minimum
- 2. 2. Summer day temperatures can reach 24°C (75°F)
