New to cymbidium

[Orchid Whisperer]

My experience is that without some cold exposure they are unlikely to bloom. Keep outdoors at least until nights dip to low 30s F. You may be able to extend that a little by tarping under clear plastic secured to an outside wall or patio door.

Here are two photos showing both buds & new growths.

No. 1: Shows a plant with an early bud (left) and a new growth (right). Buds appear at the base of an immature new growth (abt the size of a leek), while new growths can start on both immature & mature bulbs.

No. 2: Shows two plants with bud and growth at about same height. The bud is wrapped in bracts, which are sort of random, while the new growth shows start of leaves, alternating to the right & left.

Thank you, cymb lady! It was hard to tell even with Kim's excellent pictures. I need to learn my way around cymbs a bit.
