Cymbidium Mericlone

[rayanne1664]

Dear All, as a self confessed killer of all plants (aren't all 24 yr
olds?), I was both delighted and shocked to receive an orchid as a
gift.
I would very much appreciate a few tips on how to look after said plant
as nothing came with it.

rayanne1664,
"Culture sheets" are always a good way to start when looking for basic
information like temperature, light, water, etc. Since you indicated that
your orchid is a Cymbidium, below are some links to Cymbidium culture
sheets.
Best,
Joanna
