Growth habits of Cymbidium ensifolium

Cymbidium ensifolium originally grows on mountain slopes and valley walls in deep mountains and secluded valleys, in crevices of sloping rocky hillsides, and beside sparse mountain grass. Sometimes it also grows on cliffs by mountain streams.

Cymbidium ensifolium prefers a shady environment and moisture, and dislikes dryness and direct sunlight. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15-30°C. Above 35°C or below 5°C, growth stagnates and severe poor growth may occur. If the temperature is high and there is intense sun exposure, the leaves are easily scorched; if the temperature is low and the plant is not moved indoors in time, it is easily frostbitten.

Cymbidium ensifolium has fleshy roots and is suitable for growing in soil rich in humus. Drainage should be good, the soil should be slightly acidic, and it should be rich in iron. Regular loosening of the soil is beneficial to the growth of Cymbidium ensifolium.
