Description
Cymbidium sinense, also known as the Chinese Cymbidium, is a terrestrial or lithophytic orchid native to East Asia. This species is highly valued in Chinese culture and is often associated with nobility and refinement. The plant produces fragrant flowers in shades of green, brown, and purple, appearing in the winter months. Its leaves are long, slender, and grass-like, forming a dense clump. The pseudobulbs of Cymbidium sinense are typically small and hidden within the leaf bases. It requires cooler temperatures and a distinct dry period in the winter to initiate flowering. Cultivating this orchid involves providing well-draining soil, regular fertilization during the growing season, and protection from excessive heat.
