Choosing the Right Cylinder Vase Diameter for Submerged Cymbidium Orchids

The ideal cylinder vase depends on placement:

Tabletop: 5" to 5¼" opening, 20" to 23¼" tall.
Floor: Up to 55" tall with 7" diameter.

Cymbidium orchids have substantial blooms; ensure the vase opening accommodates the flower width without crushing petals. A 5" opening is usually perfect for tabletop submerged designs.
