I have a couple of miniature (but not small) cymbidiums outdoors.
I seem to have found the right formula for them for our conditions
here in southern England, full sun and heavy feeding all summer and
they're happy as pigs, pushing out of the pot with pseudobulbs the
size of lemons. I like to keep them out as long possible, a good
day/night temperature difference ought to make sure they bloom. I
had a good result last year, but this is where a bit of uncertainty
creeps in. How low can they go? I don't imagine a light frost would
actually kill them but might put them into a long-lasting funk. Does
anyone have experience of the effects of nighttime lows of
0 (32F)? --I do bring them in if the forecast is 'risk of frost'
5 (41F)? --I usually bring them in, but is it necessqry?
10(50F) is obviously OK
