Cymbidium Crown Rot from Overhead Watering: Georgia Summer Challenges

Solael watered Cymbidium over bulbs twice; all leaves and flowers lost, bulbs brown. Expert: Cymbidiums need bright light + cool temps—hard in Georgia. Anecdote: customer bloomed Miltoniopsis (similar needs) by AC vent + misting. Cymbidiums tolerate bright light if increased gradually. No heat >90°F. If pseudobulbs plump, plant may survive. Repot in orchid mix when new growth starts. Don't water until growth appears. Fall cooling helps. Repot soon—likely root rot.
