I live in Pennsylvania and it is currently snowing with a temperature of 19 degrees. One of the warmest days this week. I grow both regular and warm growing cymbidiums and am finally have luck with them. They do get to be tall and large plants. They are easy to grow if, like with any orchid, they receive the proper care. They need LOTS of light. In the summer mine get full sun outdoors. In the winter they are grown by a glass door that has a southeast exposure and several fluorescent lights above them. This year I must have the lighting right in that I have had very little bud drop. They need more water than most orchids and they also need a cool period to set bud. Mine go outside in May and are not brought back in until the end of October or when I hear that there are going to be temperatures below 30 degrees. They are a beautiful orchid and are well worth the extra work to get them to bloom. Perhaps you should consider buying a NOID to try. Usually from now until Easter the big box stores and grocery stores have them from $20 to $40. The blooms last for months and even if you find you can't re-bloom them you get your money's worth. Just remember they do take up space especially the large showy ones. Good luck! I am sure if I can have luck with them you will also. You never know until u try.
