Cymbidium roots
Thanks, Nancy! I will be repotting soon, so I'll get a good look at the
roots then. "Nancy G." wrote in message oups.com... IMPO, when a cymbidium becomes root bound, the root growth is suspended and the plant maintains itself on existing roots. We don't see the roots' condition until it is time to re-pot and divide. At that time the established roots are stressed, damaged, and given more space to grow. Also, now in the northern hemisphere, the cymbidiums were in a rest cycle and may not show much new growth. The roots being white sounds healthy. Not having green tips would indicate the roots are not in active growth due to dormancy or lack of need or space for new growth. |
