Honest review: Cymbidium is rewarding but failure to rebloom without a temperature drop trigger is real

Cymbidium is a genuinely satisfying plant to grow, but I want to be upfront about one thing: failure to rebloom without a temperature drop trigger. I've dealt with it twice now and it takes consistent attention to manage.

Beyond that, spectacular flower forms that rival almost any plant makes it one of my favourites in the collection. I keep it in a conservatory shelf with filtered light which suits it well. Learning about providing bright indirect light away from direct afternoon sun has been essential. repotting best done just after flowering finishes is worth waiting for — the plant really justifies itself then. Four stars because of that persistent issue.
