    Cymbidium goeringii "Mangetsu" 日本春蘭「満月」-plucking flower buds.

    Do not add anything extra. If you add any growth hormones, you will never bloom it. One of the C. goeringii books I read, the author said that if you add any growth hormones, you will set the plant back at least 3 years (meaning it will keep growing but will never bloom). I don't know why but...

    The flower bud is covered/capped inside an aluminium foil from early/mid fall all the way until it blooms in the spring. If you don't cap the flower buds, the flower becomes very muddy and will have a short stem. I attached a picture below as an example. I did an experiment on one of my C...

    Cymbidium goeringii "Fuji no Yuubae"

    This is the update of the same flower. It's in full bloom. I posted another one in bloom Kourin (光琳) a couple of weeks ago. Yes, there are 2 more plants and they should bloom in a month as the flower stems are elongating now (slowly but elongating). I will post once they bloom. thanks

    Cymbidium goeringii "Fuji no Yuubae" 日本春蘭「富士の夕映え」 (Japanese variety)

    Thank you。Requires a lot of work to get the right colour. Without the right techniques, the colour will be off. Also needs to make sure to have a solid orange coloured petals (i.e. no residual green colouration on the petals).

    Cymbidium goeringii 'Kourin'

    So this basement room has the following set up. It is in the basement of an old Toronto house. In many old Torontonian houses, there is a cold cellar (cold room/mud room). In the old days, this type of room is used as a refridgerator. So this concrete room was built below ground without any...
