Cymbidium Dorothy Stockstill ‘Forgotten Fruits’ and how I care for it

Hello everyone welcome to my channel um I'm just gonna share with you This cymbidium I know um share this with you a few years back every year this only gives me Two spikes but I think as the plant is getting more established and this is where it's usually Its location gets a lot of filtered sun and sometimes I feel like it gets too much sun Because um since we had the hurricane last year we there's two hurricanes passed by and Even the tree behind it is already uprooted so the trees around it have fewer leaves And even the palm trees so the there's more like coming through but every day I watch the The leaves make sure it's not burning so but this year 2023 it put out I think five spikes yeah It's usually two and this is the name is Cymbidium Dorothy stuck still forgotten fruits It has an AMAOS award so a few years ago I got this um from Autumn's nursery And it was already the roots are so tied in the pot that I got it like Um fall and the temperature started to drop and I was in a hurry to pot it and because it It has this cascading effect and I'm so glad that it bloomed a lot this time and it's so pretty I thought I'd put it in a this this pot is a little wider Uh this cymbidium can be potted in the ground anyway and their their soil is almost like a The soil is regular soil and this pot is high see this is very high so um not all of this has Media orchid media part of it maybe this much is um either I can't remember now it's been years A few years back um it's either uh your um peanut packing you know yeah but I think I put A little bit of um gravel in there or something to make it a little heavy but yeah this can I have to use um like a trolley to move it I move it during winter when some Because it's in bloom right now. It takes a while for it to open. At first I think this one opened. This one right here so I thought I'm gonna do the video before it starts to fade Um so while during winter it spikes up um when the temperature starts below 40 Because it's putting out a spike and I'd bring it in the garage only during the night And then during the day when the temperature starts to like 40s 50s then um it's okay outside you bring it outside so that it continues to develop the the spike so that it does not Interrupt because it has a different because um you are giving it the and the hours of light It needs to continuously um that put out the spike so but then you're also protecting it Because you know your um climate drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit um I'm in Florida by the way Uh, USA so we use Fahrenheit here so I would but it doesn't happen all the time That it drops below 40 um at midnight until more we are in the morning so I would do that So just a few days sometimes you know maybe one a day or two days I would bring it in and then You know the rest of the week it's okay so yeah and um at first I wonder why it's called I forgot about the fruit right but the smell actually it has a fruity smell so that makes sense Because one of my cousins was like does it have a fragrance but and um yes it does and um It has a fruity smell. The others are medium. Here it is. That's my um yeah it's starting to fade that's the uh butterball sunshine falls butterball But the others I was expecting to bloom the others in medium and then trips got it so this I'm lucky that this one trips missed this one so all the spikes are It blooms so during winter you maybe water it once a week when especially when it's one It's getting warmer and that soil is getting um dry so yeah I thought I'd share with you It's really really doing so well this year and like I said it usually just give me Two spikes and this time it gave me five so yeah thanks guys for watching and if you have any Questions that just uh leave a comment and I try to answer it whenever um I can thank you so much Bye now.
