Hi guys,
Just acquired a Cymbidium little black sambo. Is this a miniature cym? Can i grow this one indoors or do they like outdoors like all the others? Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris, your plant is a primary hybrid ( canaliculatum x madidum ) from Australia. I don't think it's a mini Cym. madidum is a big plant, but tiny flowers, usually light in color. The canaliculatum is usually dark in color...hence the name " little " ( from little flower ) and " black" ( from dark, almost black flowers ) They grow mostly in dry area with partial shade . There are a lot of Aussie members here , maybe they can help you out.
