• Time to Seed:

  • The best time to seed Cymbidium dayanum alba in the Gulf region is during the cooler months (October to March) when the temperature is lower and more conducive for germination.

• Soil Preparation:

  • Use a well-draining, slightly acidic mix. A combination of orchid bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss works well for this species.

• Planting Method:

  • Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil or lightly press them into the substrate (1-2 mm deep).

  • Ensure that the medium remains moist but not saturated.

• Temperature and Humidity:

  • Ideal temperature: 20-25°C (68-77°F).

  • High humidity (60-80%) is essential for successful germination. You can use a humidity dome or mist the growing area regularly to maintain the moisture.

• Light Conditions:

  • Cymbidium dayanum alba prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may burn the young seedlings.

• Watering:

  • Keep the growing medium moist at all times. Water gently to avoid disturbing the seeds. Ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging.

• Transplanting:

  • Once the seedlings are large enough to handle (about 2-3 cm in height), transplant them into individual pots or a larger container with a well-draining mix.
