Cymbidium tigrinum

This plant is from northeast India. The flowers have a natural spread of 2.5" and are long-lasting and very fragrant. I grow it cold in the winter with less water, but not a totally dry.

 

Jon, it currently gets 45F minimum. Before that it was 42F for a few years. But it has been to 32F (and dry) without any problem.

Alexey, my plant usually has a couple of years pseudobulbs with leaves. If you have access to back issues of AOS Magazine, I did an article in Decmeber 2009 issue on this species. If not, send me a pm with your email and I'll send you a copy of the aricle. I grow it fairly dry through much of the winter, but not completely dry. If it is too wet, the spikes damp off and if it is too dry the growth is not so strong. I grow mine in a light terrestrial mix, but I have seen it grown very well on a horizontal mount of cork.

 

That should be perfect. Just need to keep in covered so you control the water.

 

Kelly, I used to grow this in a house that was open on the ends spring through fall so the temperatures would get in the 90's a day or two per week in the summer. I converted that one so now grow it in the cool house. I think it would be worth a try for you.
