Orchid not in bloom.
Bareroot
The Cymbidium dayanum is a striking intermediate-elevation orchid producing 5-7cm cream flowers with dramatic maroon striping and a sweet citrus fragrance. Thriving in seasonal temperature variations (24-30°C summers, 5-12°C winter nights), this medium-sized plant demands bright filtered light (3,000-4,500 lux) and chunky, well-draining media. Its cascading flower sprays (15+ blooms per stem) make it ideal for hanging culture, while the autumn-winter flowering period provides off-season interest. Though rare in cultivation due to specific climate needs, its compact size (40-60cm) and intense fragrance reward growers who replicate its native monsoonal cycle with summer watering and winter dryness.
