CARE - CUT ORCHIDS
To retain the cymbidium's radiance for up to two weeks, follow these healthful hints.
Unpack the flowers immediately.
Trim up to 1/2 inch off the stems.
Place the flowers in clean cool water for 5-10 minutes. If you have received cymbidiums and they are wilted upon unpacking, simply submerge whole sprays for 10 to 15 minutes in cool tap water.
Trim stems and change water 2 times a week.
Keep flowers away from heat and temperatures below 45 degrees F.
Cymbidium orchids are slightly sensitive to ethylene. To avoid ethylene buildup, you'll want to ensure adequate ventilation and sanitary conditions. What are the ideal storage conditions for Cymbidium orchids? These tropical treasures will stay their loveliest when held in water and at 50 to 55 degrees F. Holding Cymbidiums for more than a week at temperatures below 45 degrees can cause blooms to discolor or drop.
