Quick Question.

Do I grow miniature Cyms as regular cyms? i picked up two hybrids, both labeled as cool growing.

Thanks,

Tom499

I have no idea of any difference between the two types. But this may help you a little.

Good luck.

If they are labeled cool growing, treat as regular Cyms. Many miniatures are warm growing. I have a couple hanging in the south end of my GH. Lots of light, lots of water, lots of heat.

I agree wiht Cynthia, if they were labled cool growing I would treat them the same as other hybrid Cymbidiums.

There are a number of miniature Chinese Cymbidiums, both species and hybrids that are quite different than the popular hybrids and some of them have different culture requirements.

The pair were just £3 each and just say "cymbidium miniature green" and "cymbidium miniature yellow".

There single psuedobulbs but look healthy and 10 celsius is easy here.

( I splashed out on the Blc. )
