Hello and welcome!

I'm figuring these cyms are in bloom currently? If so - keep them away from any drafts from heater to prevent the blooms withering prematurely.
Cyms like to remain moist, but not soggy.

After threat of frost, it's best to grow outdoors, as they like a good deal of light - tho shade by mid-day.
Keep them outside til just before first frost.

I am able to have mine outdoors year round - so I'll let someone else advise on how to best grow them indoors during winter ...
I think a cool room with plenty of light if you can ...

If you are able, please post some pix! We all love seeing them!

Yes the key is strong light in winter. Hopefully someone in your area or type of climate can provide more information than I can. I could tell you how we grow them in Australia (and in my opinion we grow them better than anyone else) but that advice wouldn't be practical for you.

RIbarrola,

Follow the thread next to your posting on "Can I grow Cymbidiums in New York?" The advice is the same.
