I have just been given a Cymbidium bulb, with no growing
instructions -
please, can anyone tell me how it should be propagated? Should it be
grown in orchid compost? It is almost as big as the palm of my hand
and very solid and heavy.
Thanks in advance, Jaycee

I think that these instructions will be ideal for your purposes:
