Another newbie trying her hand at growing a Cymbidium
I went to Lowe's garden center to look at trees, which I did, but also had to check out the indoor plants. On the sale rack I noticed what looked like a rather large orchid shoved towards the back, and after some carefull maneuvering I managed to get it out to where I could look at it. Amazingly enough, it was healthy, fresh, full of new growth with a couple of bent leaves from being wadded into the rack, but no other damage and/or browning or dead leaves. The tag read Cym. Lovely Valley (it was not blooming), and I figured for the marked down price of $8.88, it would have a better chance of living at my house, so I bought it. The plant is large and full; I cut off the two broken leaves and gave it a watering. Now I need to know what I can do to ensure it gets everything it needs to survive and be happy! ☺ Thanks!!
