The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Northeastern Australia. Cymbidium madidum is found between
sea level and 4250 ft. (0-1300 m) on the eastern slopes of the Great
Dividing Range from near the northern tip of the Cape York Peninsula
southward through Queensland to the Hastings River in northeastern New
South Wales. Plants grow in damp areas such as swamps, rainforests, and
open forests with high rainfall.
Plants often grow at the base of epiphytic staghorn or elkhorn fern, on
rotting wood, in hollows of trunks and branches of trees, usually in
rotting wood. They are occasionally found on the rough, fibrous covering
on the trunks of palm trees and on the surface of the ground on roadside
cuttings. Plants usually grow where they receive full sun for at least
part of the day, but they can tolerate heavy shade. Australian growers
report that Cymbidium madidum generally grows better in cool, humid
conditions with strong air movement.
