Cymbidium goeringii 'Tian Cao' 天草

[Jaljala]

I love this species!
This form has a very nice foliage with creamy margin. It stays small, and smells divine!!!
I grown it in pure Orchiata bark. Outdoor most of the year, indoor in winter behind a north facing window in the coldest room of the apartment.

Lovely. Probably my favorite cymbidium species. Supposedly this species (at least some clones of it) are hardy enough to be grown outside in the ground in my area.

Matt had a bunch of them at the Norh Jersey show. I remember when variegated leaf goeringii were super expensive1

Thanks for the comments!
Yes I got it from Ten Shin at Vancouver show one year ago.
This form was the most affordable marginated leaves I could find... I think around $25 per bulb.

 

[NYEric]

"marginated"? Now I have a new word to look up! oke:

 

[Jaljala]

Sorry Eric, marginated is a form of variegation... it is more appropriate for this plant because the variegation is only at the margin of the leaf . Other plants with variegation, like Setsuzan, have patches of creamy color all over the leaves. oke:

Cool. In my effort to become a student judge I find I have to learn a lot of new adjectives. Thanks.

Very nice Cymbidium, I've recently started collecting these and they are very difficult to get in Europe.

Great pics! I have one and still learning to grow it well.

What are your temperatures like? And how wet/dry do you keep it?
