Cymbidium mastersii – The Master's Cymbidium - One Off Specials
Cymbidium mastersii is a rarely-offered species native to the cool montane forests of the eastern Himalayas. Known for its elegant white flowers and gentle fragrance, this orchid blooms in the cooler months and is highly prized for its rarity—particularly in this flowering size, which is seldom seen in cultivation.
Distinctive Features

- Growth Form: A sympodial orchid with upright pseudobulbs and arching, grassy foliage.
- Cool Adaptation: Naturally adapted to cool, moist conditions, thriving in sheltered mountain environments.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, filtered light—ideal under 50% shade cloth or morning sun only.
- Water: Keep evenly moist during the growing season; reduce watering in winter after flowering.
- Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity, ideally 60–80%.
- Media: Use a fine to medium orchid bark mix with added sphagnum moss for moisture retention.
- Temperature: Thrives between 10–25°C, with cooler nights encouraging flowering.
- Fertiliser: Feed fortnightly with a balanced orchid fertiliser during active growth; reduce in winter.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the medium breaks down, preferably after flowering.
