I've started a new thread so as not to detract from Spider's question.
I have asked before about 2 orchids I have which I cannot get to
reflower, one phalaenopsis and one cymbidium.
I know I don't feed enough and only use orchid flower liquid feed.
I've just bought another phalaenopsis (Ikea) as I'm fed up with not
having a flower.
The cymbidium had got so big, in over 10 years with no flowers, that
I've just divided it up and given 3 pieces away.
On Saturday I went to an open day of the Writhlington School Orchid
Project, well known in the orchid world. I was advised to leave my
cymbidium outside till November, and told that a light frost is good
for them.
Any advise on that? What do other cymbidium growers do?
