Cymbidium ensifolium '禅月达摩(chan yue da mo)'

[Conjuration]

First blooms for me!

It arrived last September as a two-bulbed plant. And now it has one newly matured growth and two new growths (and the flower spike, must not forget the flower spike)!

Wonderful species. Your plant's blooms look great, and I can imagine that they smell wonderfully also. What are you growing it in? It looks like an inert media like hydroton (or something similar?). Congratulations on the lovely flowers.

Thank you! The flowers do smell divine and somewhat elusive, which makes the fragrance all the more interesting!

I grow her in 100% leca using a semihydro setup (net pot/cache pot). It's worked well so far. But I haven't had her long enough to say for certain whether this is a good long-term setup.

It will be interesting to see how the plant performs for you over time. If you wouldn't mind providing a periodic update? Congratulations again on getting this species to flower for you.
