    Default Ants in cymbidium

    I have a yellow NOID cymbidium that is doing fantastic except for the fact that the ants seem to love it. None of my other orchids, not even my other cyms, have ants. Just the yellow CYM. I repotted it a few months ago when they got really bad..... I've used malathion too. Any other suggestions? Any idea why they only love this cym?
