These orchids are prized for their sprays of large flowers, used especially as cut flowers or for corsages in the springtime.
In many of our climates, the high level of light cymbidiums need is accompanied by high temperatures in the summer, which may cause the plants not to bloom.
During the summer, standard cymbidiums are usually grown outside in semi-shade, where day temperatures should be 75 to 85 degrees F (or more), but night temperatures in the late summer to fall (August to October) must be 50 to 60 degrees F to initiate flower spikes.

Cymbidium tracyanum as illustrated in Williams' Orchid Grower's Manual.

Virus infection of a cymbidium may be caused by insects feeding on an infected plant and then moving to an uninfected plant, but transmission with contaminated tools or your hands during dividing, potting or cutting the flowers, or reusing unwashed and unsterilized pots or flower stakes is usually the cause.
