Garden tip: Caring for cymbidiums
Briefly

During spring and summer months, use a high-nitrogen fertilizer, but switch to a low-nitrogen formula with higher potassium and phosphorus in fall and winter.
The San Francisco Orchid Society recommends a feeding formula of NPK 10-30-20 during fall and winter to promote larger and more abundant blooms.
To protect cymbidiums from frost, it's essential to keep temperatures above 40 degrees; moving them indoors or to sheltered locations may prevent damage.
Feeding cymbidiums monthly until flower spikes appear in spring ensures a vibrant display, making proper care crucial to achieving long-lasting blooms.
