Cymbidium outside cold temperature

[mariella_72]

Hallo everybody,

I've got a question regarding my Cymbidium.
I got it almost 2 years ago and it had lots of flowers as you can see from the attached pic.

Last winter I kept it inside, but my florist said it should stay outside. In fact it didn't blossom...
She said the cold temperature could help it to give me some flowers!

At the moment it is on a balcony south-east where the sun comes only in the morning til 12:30.
As the weather is getting very cold in these days (around 34 degrees F during the night, 46 during the day) I covered the vase with some newspapers and I put in in a corner where it should be more protected.
I water it rarely and always in the morning.

Is it correct or am I doing something wrong?

The plant grew bigger and bigger during the summer but so far, no flowers.

I know Cymbidiums are quite difficult plants... but I'd like to see some flowers

Thanks in advance for your help!
