Growing Cymbidium Hybrids 'Cherry Kisses' and 'Cherry Cola' Indoors

Temperature Needs

Cymbidiums prefer cool, bright conditions (35–75°F). Bud set requires ~40°F nights in fall.

Difficult to maintain cool temps in heated homes. Summer outdoors in semi-shade; bring in before frost.

Tight pots, standard orchid mix. Heavy feeding and watering during active growth.
