If you want to propagate your Cymbidium over and above splitting them by all
means propagate from back bulbs but how many cymbids of the same variety
does one want?
In my case I split, keep the best young bits and throw away all the rest
because I don't want more than one of each variety as they soon turn into
large plants.
BTW when repotting place the older bit against the side of the pot so the
young growth has space to grow for a couple of years, seeing a potting guide
in the OSGB Journal made me remember to mention this, something I do
automatically.

And this link should help. These growers have 3 acres under glass, fully
automated for growing orchids.http://www.mcbeansorchids.co.uk/acat...ivation_1.html

If you grow on the back bulbe you could always swap them with someone
else for different varieties, or even sell them on Ebay
