Default What to do when your orchid blooms?

Dear Miss Taz,
I would do a happy dance!!!


Hey Wendy,

I live in Tasmania, Australia so it's not the warmest of climates.
I keep the orchids outside in a garden bed so they surrounded with
other plants, it keeps the wind from being a problem and also protects
them from too much sun.

I generally water them weekly spring through summer and monthly the
rest of the year (unless it rains, then I take that into account)

Feeding is about the same as watering however I do tend to forget to
do it but it's never been a problem!


Just how do you tend to your cymbidium to get it to bloom?
What zone do you grow in?
I have over 300 of these & very few bloom for me?

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,
