Cymbidium tracyanum Rolfe 1890 is a terrestrially growing, large sized orchid species, native to China, Thailand and Myanmar (formerly Burma), where it grows at elevations from 1200 to 1900 meters.

The Cymbidium species orchid has been named in honor to the English orchid grower Tracy (19th century). Inflorescences reach lengths of about 1,30 meters and are packed with up to 20 highly fragrant flowers. The beautiful flowers can reach a size up to 15 cm. Flowering period: October - January. Cymbidium tracyanum orchids are protected by CITES Appendix II (trade controlled to avoid use incompatible with species survival). The impressive orchid requires cold to cool temperatures and medium - bright light. Plants need frequently watering and fertilizing all around the year (a bit less during winter rest) and should dry out between waterings.
