When the light is relatively strong, you need proper shade, or keep it in a cool place, otherwise it is easy to burn the leaves.

The suitable temperature for the growth of Cymbidium is 15-25 ℃, and it can grow better in this growth environment. The temperature in summer is relatively high, and its growth will be suspended when the temperature is higher than 35 ℃, so it is necessary to take measures to cool down. If the temperature is too high, the leaves of the plant will turn yellow and dry tip will appear.
