Cymbidium Cani Hugh × Cymbidium devonianum

Cymbidium Cani Hugh × Cymbidium devonianum is a cross I've grown for the parent traits rather than a confirmed flower. Cani Hugh usually brings broad petals, strong substance, and a tidy upright spike. Devonianum contributes a pendulous habit, higher spike count, and its distinctive solid purple lip-a trait it tends to pass on quite reliably. These are large divisions, not seedlings, but they haven't flowered here yet, so you're getting the potential of the line rather than a selected form. The photo is of Cani Hugh, one of the parents.

Care

• Light: Bright filtered light; gentle morning sun is fine.
• Water: Keep evenly moist in active growth; allow a slight dry-down in winter.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate grower (approx. 10-25 °C).
• Media: Free-draining Cymbidium bark mix with good aeration.
• Feeding: Regular fertiliser through spring and summer; reduce in cooler months.

Key Characteristics

• Parentage: Cymbidium Cani Hugh × Cymbidium devonianum
• Growth habit: Strong, arching plants; devonianum influence may produce semi-pendulous spikes.
• Flowering: Unflowered divisions - final colour and form not yet known.
• Line expectations: Cani Hugh contributes shape and substance; devonianum adds spike number, elegance, and its characteristic solid purple lip.
• Plant size: Large divisions with established bulbs.
