Cymbidium faberi just grows leaves without blooming, so annoying. I haven't skipped a single watering or fertilizing task, so why no flowers?

Here the editor offers a tip for fellow Cymbidium faberi growers: first you have to know the reasons it won't bloom.

The first one may be a light problem. Among Chinese orchids, Cymbidium faberi is the most light-loving orchid. In summer, when sunlight is strongest, it needs about 60% shading; in other seasons it can go without shading.

Another possibility is a repotting problem. Cymbidium faberi does not like frequent repotting or soil changes. Generally, if a potted plant at home is growing well, repotting once every 2 years is enough. It does not like the "fuss" of repotting once a year, which will affect its growth. If it hasn't been repotted for more than two years, at least change the soil.

Cymbidium faberi is growing leggy. If fertilizing and watering are both fine, then you need to reflect on whether there are problems with light and repotting.
