Cym leaves collapsing
Cymbidium leaves not able to support itself.
I have two cymbidiums since December. One is a standard Cym and the other I think is the warmer growing Chinese cym. They both have been putting out new growth for over 2 months now however the leaves can't support it owns weight and bend/flop over on it self at 1/3 to 1/2 length up from the bulb. The growth seems softer unlike the older leaves which are harder and arch gracefully. I grow outside in Southern California under a tall palm tree. It gets direct sunlight till 12noon then it gets dappled shade from the palm tree's shadow till 2 pm then on to more direct sunlight. I water it 3x a week by soaking the pot in Better Grow 20-14-13 at 3/4 tsp a gallon or roughly 200ppm of N. Mix is bark and perlite for standard Cym and bark and fine gravel i think for the Chinese cymb. Also the older leaves are yellow at the tip and progressing downward. Some of the older leaves are also splitting lengthwise right at the main support spine. Could anyone give me some idea as to what is causing this? |
