    The humidity for this plant should be higher than for most houseplants, between 50-70%. Make sure the air does not get too dry, especially in the winter when the heating is on. This can be achieved by regularly spraying water or using a humidifier.

    Most orchids, including Cymbidium, thrive best in soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. It is important to regularly monitor the pH of the soil and adjust it as needed with special orchid fertilizers. A pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is generally considered ideal for the healthy growth of these plants.
