Distribution: This orchid species is commonly found in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, as well as the southwestern regions of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan.
Morphological Characteristics:
The leaves of Cymbidium are more slender compared to other Cymbidium varieties, especially at the base. They have an elegant and graceful posture, with delicate green foliage that comes in various sizes—large, medium, or fine. The leaves are neatly trimmed and well-proportioned.
In terms of color, this orchid displays a rich palette, including yellow, green, purple, and deep purple. Many varieties feature variegated veins and spots, while some exhibit clean, spotless flowers. The sepals and petals are narrow and elongated, with a unique shape that gives them an adorable and fragrant appearance.
Growth Habits:
It typically grows under dense broad-leaved forests on steep slopes, where light is limited, the roots are shallow, and the humus layer is thin but well-draining. Due to differences in climate between spring and summer, cultivation methods may need slight adjustments.
Cultivation and Conservation:
First, shading and temperature should be similar to those required for Murrum. Especially during high-temperature periods with strong sunlight, extra attention must be given to shading and moisture retention. On sunny days, it's recommended to mist the leaves in the morning or evening, and the shading level should be around 80%. This helps maintain a shiny appearance and reduces disease incidence.
During hot seasons, cold blue orchids should be placed on the lower shelves to keep them cooler.
Second, wind and frost protection are important. In autumn and winter, protect them from harsh winds and cover them on frosty days to prevent damage.
Third, fertilization should be done carefully. Based on the growing medium, Chilling orchids generally require minimal or no fertilizer. However, from April to June, you can spray leaf fertilizers such as Huabao No. 4 or B1 germination agent. From August to October, use phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizers like flowering fertilizer, Huabao No. 3, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
Some people say that cultivating chillies is like "nine deaths and one life," but in reality, if you understand its basic needs, the survival rate can be just as high as that of spring and cypress orchids.
Cold blue orchids usually bloom in late autumn and early winter when the weather gets colder. At this time, they often appear less fragrant and lack vitality. To enhance their fragrance and elegance, ensure they receive more sunlight during the day. Even if blooming only at night, proper sun exposure will help maintain their scent.
Usage and Features:
These orchids are known for their beauty and fragrance, with vibrant colors and elegant forms. Their leaves are straight yet gracefully curved, with a dense arrangement that creates a dynamic visual effect. The leaves and flowers are soft yet refined, making them highly appreciated in Chinese horticulture.
