The Story
Cymbidium (Kimberley × McClure Quest) 'White Night' is one I've grown mainly for its reliability. The flowers are big-around 120 mm-and the spikes stand up straight without needing much support. Once the bulbs mature, it's common for them to throw more than one spike, so you get a good show from a single plant. It sits in that group of modern whites that just work.
Care
- Light: Bright filtered light; some morning sun is fine.
- Water: Keep evenly moist during active growth; slightly drier in winter.
- Temperature: Cool to intermediate grower.
- Media: Free-draining Cymbidium bark mix.
- Feeding: Regular fertiliser through spring and summer; reduce as temperatures drop.
Key Characteristics
- Parentage: Kimberley × McClure Quest
- Spike habit: Tall, upright spikes.
- Flower size: Large ~120 mm blooms.
- Flowering period: July to August under Victorian conditions.
- Bloom quality: Long-lasting flowers; tends to produce multiple spikes per bulb once established.
- Colour: Clean whites with soft pink to rose markings typical of this line.
