Cymbidium Sleepy Sarah 'White Delight'

I've grown a few lines out of Cymbidium Sarah Jean × Cymbidium Sleeping Nymph over the years. This particular form, 'White Delight', throws cleaner, paler blooms than the typical Sleepy Sarah range. It flowers reliably once it settles in and doesn't ask for much beyond space and regular feeding.

Care

• Light: Bright, filtered light. Morning sun is fine; avoid hot afternoon exposure.
• Water: Keep evenly moist during active growth. Allow the top of the mix to dry slightly between waterings in winter.
• Temperature: Cool-intermediate grower. Benefits from cold winter nights to set spikes.
• Media: Standard Cymbidium bark mix with good drainage.
• Feeding: Regular fertiliser during spring and summer. Ease off as temperatures drop.
