I have 2 home depot specials. First year one of them re-bloomed. Had three
stalks, only one of which made it. I read that they need to be exposed to
cold temperatures in order to encourage them to bloom. Never could find
exactly what cold was. Being in Chicago I try to pull them inside around 40
degrees. So perhaps was more luck than skill. Though my cat eating the
leaves probably doesn't help either.

Dear Miss Taz,
I would do a happy dance!!!
Just how do you tend to your cymbi ydium to get it to bloom?
What zone do you grow in?
I have over 300 of these & very few bloom for me?
Cheers Wendy

Hi,

Can anyone tell me, do I need to do anything special now that my
orchid is blooming?
I have a cymbidium and its just starting to open up.

Thanks,
