Cymbidium large flowered 'Femba Yellow' is a stunning orchid variety with beautiful yellow-medium yellow flowers. While the flower scent is weak, the vibrant color and impressive size of the blooms make up for it.

The flowers of 'Femba Yellow' measure around 9 to 9.5 cm in diameter, making them quite prominent and eye-catching. The petals are a rich, medium yellow shade that adds a touch of warmth and brightness to any space.

One of the standout features of this orchid is its inflorescence, which is a raceme.

As with most orchids, 'Femba Yellow' requires specific care to thrive. They prefer bright but indirect light and should be placed near a window or under a grow light. The temperature should be moderate, ranging between 18 to 24 degrees Celsius during the day and slightly cooler at night.

For watering, it is crucial to prevent the roots from sitting in stagnant water. Water the orchid thoroughly and allow the excess to drain away before placing it back in its decorative pot or container. Regular misting can also help maintain the necessary humidity levels.

Proper fertilization is essential for orchid health and flowering. Use a balanced orchid fertilizer and follow the instructions carefully to avoid overfeeding. Repotting should be done every few years to ensure adequate space for root growth and nutrient absorption.

With its large, stunning flowers and unique coloration, Cymbidium large flowered 'Femba Yellow' is a perfect addition to any orchid enthusiast's collection. Whether displayed on a windowsill, as a centerpiece, or given as a gift, this orchid is sure to bring joy and beauty to any space.
