excellent!! I hear clouds is a great grower, and that their plants are fantastic. This is my first order online, so I am very excited!! I used a "vanilla mastercard", which is pre-paid, similar to a gift card, though it can be used online. Some people say they can't use it online, so well see. fingers crossed!!

The cym. I purchased was a large seedling. its my first cym so if it dies (knock on wood) , its better losing 10$ on a seedling than 30$ on a blooming sized one!!

Your sanderera must have been from the same batch as mine then.
Wish me luck!!!

My Cymbids are actually growing in the basement. I have a south-facing window in the unheated basement. As I live in Newfoundland, near the coast, my humidity levels are relatively high, too, so the Cymbids are happy little campers down there.

The Sanderara is a relative newcomer to my collection, but seems to be happy temperature and humidity-wise amongst the Oncidiums, but I've propped it up closer to the window and the lights. We'll see how it goes.

If you just ordered your Cymbid from Clouds, be prepared for a fair-sized plant! The last one I ordered was large!

Cheers!

Welcome from a fellow canuck, Vicky! Do you have a fan in the basement? I'm not very good with cymbs at all....they get happy outside in the summer, but the get upset in the winter (too warm, probably)...do you give them air movement?

No fan, but they're near the air exchange outflow, which seems to do the trick!

The cool, sunny spot seems to do the trick. I'm thinking my Vuylstekeara mimght prefer cooler temps and so should be moved down there, too. It seems not to be happy with me.

Hey, I saw that you have Den Thai Jeng x. D. compactum. I am trying to figure out the care on this one. Do you give it a winter rest? Complete winter rest w/no watering, or??
thanks...........
