Beginner with a cymbidium
Default Beginner with a cymbidium

Hi All!

I had a few questions about my cymbidium, but I'll give a little background info first. I was given a cymbidium about a year and a half ago by a friend who was moving (I was living in New Mexico). She didn't know how old it was, if it had ever bloomed, over what type it was. I haven't really done much work to it other than repotting it maybe last spring. During the repotting, I found it had a rotten bulb, so I split it out and got rid of it. Even in the middle of the desert, I had it looking very good, green and putting on new growth! But I recently moved to coastal Georgia and it seems like it's been suffering.

My first question is, is it normal for the leaves of a cymbidium to be so droopy? Most pictures I've seen, the leaves stand up more than mine do. Several of the leaves actually have creases where they are bent down. Only the most recent growth (on a separate bulb) is really standing up. Second, the largest bulb has lost most of its leaves. There's only 1 left. Is this normal? Is this a back bulb?

This plant is currently near a south facing window that only gets direct light in the morning. It's in my home office, so it gets artificial light most of the day, often till pretty late at night.

Any suggestions on bringing this plant back to health?

Thanks!!
Em
