Description
Boat Cymbidium Orchid seeds are used to grow a perennial climbing cactus-like orchid with arching flower spikes for greenhouses, containers, and plant collections. Suitable for controlled environments, they prefer bright light with partial shade in hot climates and a well-drained orchid germination medium that stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Sow 0.5-1 cm deep, space plants 30-60 cm apart, and keep temperatures around 20-30°C. Germination can take 1-6 months, with flowering several years after sowing and possible continuous blooms afterward.
