Part of the book series: Reference Series in Phytochemistry ((RSP))

Abstract

Cymbidiums enjoy a prime position in the floriculture industry for heavy substance of the flowers and high flower longevity. They are cultivated for cut flowers as well as pot plants for house decorations. Besides, they are used in medicine, cosmetics, and food. The successful cymbidium cultivation requires effective management of several factors controlling production and productivity. Various aspects of cymbidium orchid cultivation including genetics and breeding and plant health management have been discussed in the chapter.
