Do Cymbidium Orchids Rebloom?

Cymbidium spikes bloom only one time, so once the blooms have dropped you will not be able to encourage a rebloom from the spike as you can with other types of orchids. They typically bloom in the early spring although sometimes you can see flowers beginning to bloom in October or bloom all the way until June.

How do I get my cymbidium orchid to flower again?

Moderate and regular watering and using the right amount of fertilizer is essential in triggering your cymbidium orchids to bloom. In summer, you must water your orchids two to three times a week, but during winter once a week is enough. If you are overwatering, the plants may shed their buds.

How often do cymbidium orchids bloom?

Cymbidium orchids will usually bloom only once a year between late autumn and early or mid-spring. Some newer Cymbidium hybrids can bloom twice a year. Blooms can last one to three months. Cymbidiums are more peculiar about their environment than Phalaenopsis orchids, despite better handling cold temperatures.
