Q What is the name of my lovelyhous­e plant?

- Anne, by email

MATTHEW SAYS This is a cymbidium orchid. Cymbidiums are wonderful house plants for a cool, bright spot, where their long leaves provide shape and form all year. The flowers usually appear each winter and are an exotic joy! When it gets too large for its pot, use orchid compost to re-pot it.

 ?? ?? The flower spikes of cymbidium orchids last for up to eight weeks
