Cymbidium Sarah Jean 'Peach' Variegated

Cymbidium Sarah Jean 'Peach' is a line most growers know for its soft pastel flowers and reliable spike habit. This form is a little different. It's a stable variegated clone, something I've been growing on for a few years to make sure the foliage holds true. The flowers are the same as the standard Sarah Jean 'Peach'-creamy petals flushed with soft pink-but the foliage is what sets this one apart. This is the first time I've released divisions of it.

Care

• Light: Bright filtered light; variegated foliage benefits from good light but avoid harsh afternoon sun.
• Water: Keep evenly moist in active growth; slightly drier in winter.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate grower.
• Media: Free-draining Cymbidium bark mix.
• Feeding: Regular fertiliser in spring and summer; reduce as temperatures drop.
