I have told before the saga of my cymbidium which hasn't flowered
since I bought it at least 15 years ago though 4 plants I made by
splitting it and gave away, have all flowered the last 2 years.
The only reason I can think of is that I gave mine plenty of space in
a new pot, the others were crammed into smaller pots! All in orchid
compost.
Mine has been outside all summer.
Question; should I bring it in before we have a frost or leave it
untill we have had a few cold nights. It's looking very healthy and is
almost bursting its pot!

I hate to be different, but I repotted my 2 cymbidiums in June, they
have stayed in the glasshouse all summer with just Automatic vents, I
kept the doors shut.
Just checked on them and one has 3 flower spikes coming and the other
has 1 at present.
I wonder if it's the temp. change rather than exposing to near freezing
that initiates the flower development.
