| My cymbidium seems to have far too many leaves (and they are very long, too). Should I trim some of the bottom leaves?
Currently it is having three blooming spikes. I'm afraid that trimming leaves might affect the plant. Thanks for your advise. Xuan |

| I never trim off healthy leaves. Leaves are a source of nutrients and support for the plant. If the old leaves are yellowish or turning brown, then you can trim them. |

| Many thanks, orchid. Will leave them alone, then. Xuan |
