Cymbidium tracyanum

This is an orchid I have grown right from the early days of my orchid interest. The large flowers are very fragrant and have the most wonderful spots and hairs.

Cymbidium tracyanum is found across a wide range from North east India through South East Asia. We have explored its habitat in Arunachal Pradesh where it grows in cool evergreen monsoon forest from 1200-1900m which is a little lower than other cymbidiums such as Cymbidium hookerianum and as a result  Cymbidium tracyanum is a more heat tolerant and easy in cultivation.

We grow our plants in our 'Himalayas Greenhouse' with a minimum of 7C, with wet summers and dryer winters reflecting the plant's natural habitat.
