Default Cym. Golden Elf 'Sundust' AM/AOS

Does anyone grow this cymbidium Cym. Golden Elf 'Sundust' AM/AOS (ensifolium x Enid Haupt)?

Wondering about the growing conditions that it might need. Here is a pic too!

I grow them in semi-hydro culture and they just thrive, blooming several times a year..

Some will tell you it is a "warmth tolerant" plant, but my experience (even before S/H) is that it is a warmth loving plant - not phals levels maybe, but certainly warmer than standards.

It will take a great variation in temperature right from the 30's to the 100's usually.

They will take a great variety of temperature. This is probably the only variety that I can get to bloom. Being here in FL, hard to get some of the other ones to bloom but this is growing with high light, under the vandas in the shaderoom and get watered quite often
