Cym Red Beauty - help with culture; and flower spike or PB? Male
Default Cym Red Beauty - help with culture; and flower spike or PB?

Hello all,

It's been a while since I bought an orchid other than phals/dendrobiums.

I recently bought a healthy and gorgeous Cymbidium noid. I suspect it's a Cymb Red Beauty, but I can't be sure. Any help in identifying will be helpful.

(i've also emailed the grower, Westerlay Orchids, CA, i hope he has the exact name)

Meanwhile, because this is my first cymbidium, I will greatly appreciate suggestions for culture.

My location: San Diego, coastal Southern California
Indoor temps: Around 65-70

How often should I water/fertilize? And what sort of fertilizers at this growth phase?

I understand these cymbs like full sun; I'm north facing and typically should get some strong morning sun. But for now, I'm enjoying the blooms by placing them indoors.

Also, while there is a strong fully-bloomed flower spike, there are also 2 new growths. One is a new PB (on the left, see picture 4), while I'm not sure about the other. Can the experts comment on it? I dont know whether I should:

1. Place it outdoors to help the new growths
2. Place it indoors to enjoy the blooms, but hinder the growth

Thanks!
