PSEUDOBULBS DETECTED IN A CYMBIDIUM ORCHID<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCymbidiums comprise a broad family of orchids that are highly prized for their shape, color, duration and, in some cases, fragrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First\u00a0, cymbidium orchid plants<\/strong>\u00a0can be defined\u00a0in an average size that is over 60 centimeters in total length, although there may even be cases where these species reach 90 centimeters.\u00a0As for the flowers of these species can be said that cymbidium orchids have small flowers of about 5 to 13 centimeters in diameter, everything depends on the case of the species. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, within the important aspects of cymbidium orchids it is also known that usually these plants usually bloom in the winter season.\u00a0In addition, it is also known that during the flowering season of this plant there are at least about 20 flowers.\u00a0One of the aspects that stands out about this genus is that between the species you can observe different types of colors, that is, unlike other\u00a0wild orchid\u00a0genera,\u00a0the color does not mean a related characteristic.\u00a0For this reason you can see\u00a0red cymbidium orchids,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0white, green, yellow, orange and pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the same way, taking into account the previously mentioned aspects, it should be noted that in terms of flowering, it is known that in the case of this kind it usually lasts about 10 weeks. One of the main differences that this genus has in relation to the different orchid genera is that in this case these plants usually develop more leaves, and in larger dimensions. All these aspects are part of the varieties of cymbidium orchids.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to various studies, as an ideal environment for the development of these plants, temperate climates were identified, where humidity predominates.\u00a0The species of this genus obtain great relevance in Asia where it is proceeded to carry out the\u00a0cultivation of cymbidium orchids<\/strong>\u00a0to meet the demand of the trade.
It is an evergreen and epiphytic plant, although in its natural habitat it can also be terrestrial.\u00a0Its development is sympodial, that is, the plant develops from a series of pseudobulbs that grow expanding horizontally and forming a new outbreak every year from a short rhizome.\u00a0From the pseudobulbs two types of stems are born: those that give rise to a new pseudobulb and those that form a floral rod. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEach year the pseudobulb develops a new outbreak.\u00a0These buds give rise to two types of stems, those that will offer us a floral rod, and from which a new pseudobulb will develop.\u00a0
The origin of Cymbidium orchids is in Africa, tropical Asia and Australia.\u00a0The Cymbidium for sale, are often the result of numerous crosses, thanks to which many hybrids have been achieved with a large palette of colors in their flowers.\u00a0
The Cymbidium orchidscan be divided into two large groups, the so-called normal<\/strong>\u00a0and that can reach a considerable diameter and height (up to 1 meter in diameter)\u00a0and considered miniatures,<\/strong>\u00a0which are usually orchids created from hybrids.\u00a0
As a curiosity, the name of Cymbidium can be due to two different meanings.\u00a0According to some, it derives from the Greek word Kumbos, which means hole or cavity, referring to the base of the lip of the flower.\u00a0But for others, it derives from the Greek Kimbe, meaning ship, because of the shape of the flower’s lip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nCymbidium is said to be the most cultivated orchid due to its easy cultivation and the large number of hybrids that have been created. In fact, they were the first orchids sold as an indoor plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two large groups of Cymbidiums: the so-called normals that can reach a diameter greater than one meter given their vitality (if they have favorable conditions) and those of miniature obtained from certain hybrids. The latter are more resistant, compact and not so demanding regarding light or flowering conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
