Taking care of Cymbidium orchids
Like the Phalaenopsis orchids the Cymbidium is not easy to take care of.
If you read about taking care of Cymbidium orchids, you will probably find it difficult.
Depending on the conditions watering should only be done twice a week and only in the edges. If you live in the North, they need 70 % shade, and there should not be more than 20 degrees between night and day.
So you can use a lot of time taking care of your of Cymbidium orchids; or you can chose a silk Cymbidium orchid instead.
Then the only care taking you have to do is a little dusting once in a while.
You can find a lot of different Cymbidium orchids on the Internet.
