Yes, Asian Cymbidiums (C. ensifolium, C. sinese, C. kanran, C. goeringii, and C. faberi) are tricky. They have a totally different cultural requirements and cultural techniques than all Western orchids, including Cymbidiums (yes, you read it right, even Cymbidiums).
C. ensifolium is the easiest one and can tolerate the most abuse. I hope you enjoy the delicate fragrance and bring you happiness
