Question on Cymbidiums
 

I have a cymbidium that started out as a small plant, has now been divided
into 5 plants over the years, and now they are starting to be hugh. I know
the roots are ready to split my pots. My question is when I repot should I
cut back some of the root system or just go to a larger pot? I'm already up
to a 12" pot. Running out of space....

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Chuck.

Hi Chuck, Yes you can trim some of the roots but it will set the plant
back a while. I would just divide &
usually if the pot is bursting, there are some old leafless pseudos in the
middle that you could cut out.
I have use a "sod sickle" on some of mine!
Cheers Wendy
