Native to central and southern China, Nepal and India, Cymbidium faberi grows terrestrially in sunny grasslands or under open forest cover, between 700 and 3000 m elevation. Its long, narrow, erect to slightly arching leaves can reach 80 cm, with finely serrate margins. In spring, a 35–80 cm spike bears 5 to 11 or more fragrant flowers, pale green to pale yellow sometimes tinged purple, 5 to 7 cm across. It requires free-draining, organically rich soil, part shade, and moderate watering.
