First-Time Cymbidium Post-Bloom Care: Cut Spike, Dry Rest, Screened Porch OK

First cymbidium post-bloom. All flowers on one stem. Cut to base? Florida screened porch okay? Water/fertilize?

Post-Bloom Steps

  1. Cut old spike near base. Use clean tool (not used on other plants).
  2. Withhold water until new growth appears.
  3. Then feed with every weekly watering (balanced: 20-20-20 or 30-30-30).

Location

Screened porch good. Watch afternoon sun (leaf burn risk). East or north exposure best.
