3. Florescence

Planting orchids not only want to see its leaves, but also want to see its flowers. There is also a big difference in flowering time between the two. Generally speaking, Cymbidium blossoms in April and May, while Melan is relatively late, in winter, about from October to March of the following year. Therefore, the florescence is very obvious, if someone sees its bloom and does not know which kind of orchid it is, they can start from this aspect.
