Cym division ?
I was given a big old cymbidium (no name) and have divided it up to several groups of new growth with 3 or 4 old bulbs to each new plant. Some of the older shrivelled bulbs came away with no roots. Optimistically I've potted them anyway, have they any chance ? jc http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/jc_atm/ |

There is a 50/50 chance of rot setting in. Give them a month or two then throw out the ones that show signs of rot. Hope on the others and keep checking about every 30 days. When you see green shoots - start inching to normal light. Remember a big change in light can cause sun burn in plants just as it does in humans. So make the change gradual until you are growing your baby in with the rest of the cym. Good luck and good growing. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
