Miniature cymbidium question

[Fairorchids]

I think I know where you bought this plant. The ones I received were not in good condition either.

As several have commented, Cymbidiums do not want to dry out at all. They need very bright light (though in this condition, somewhat lower than normal is OK).

Temperature range you have is fine for a plant that needs to recover & grow up. Once it reaches blooming size, you will need to get it into brighter light** and with more of a temperature differential between day & night. In the day time, any temp will do, but you need cool nights. Optimum would be 65-80 daytime, and 50-55 nights.

** Here in NJ, I grow mine outdoors in full sun from mid/late April till first frost.

There are differences of opinion concerning potting mix. In CA, the mix is usually some combination of coconot coir, bark & perlite. I prefer a European style terrestrial mix (3 pts chunky peat, 2 pts composted cow manure, 1 pt bark & 1 pt perlite).

Good luck,
