Hi,

I would tend to agree. However, it isn't fertilizer, or bark that
induces cymbidiums to spike. I have experimented extensively with
cymbidiums, planting a few right in the soil (in the San Gregornio Pass
area next to the desert and mountains) -- decomposed granite -- that
is. I have had them spike only to turn to garbage (King Arthur and some
yellows) as temperatures reached a low and could not move them under the
eaves. I, however, do have 90% of my plants in pots.

I rarely fertilize my cymbidiums and still get blooms. Perhaps, it is
light, temperature, and other factors that control blooms in cymbidiums.
