You are a breath of fresh air Jim and not to mention how beautiful all of your cymbidiums are. Great to hear an expert explaining with ease considering the amount of knowledge one needs to learn to grow cymbidiums successfully. I am collecting heat-tolerant cymbidiums to grow here in Samoa and have quite a variety from Thailand and Australia. I would love to buy some flasks of your varieties if that is at all possible. These plants are heavenly and give so much serenity and pleasure!
I just found your channel. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I live in Florida so won't be able to grow. I love your channel, I only watched 3 so far, but.love the way you explain and present the flowers.
Love McBeans and love Jim! Always my go to cymb expert when looking for guidance. Has to be one of the top two UK orchid nurseries. Buy British orchids and keep these guys going for another 100 years
Thank you so much for doing these videos! There aren’t a lot of info on growing cymbidiums from pro growers. The sight of cymbidiums as far as the eyes can see is such a medicine for my soul!! One question if you’re don’t mind me asking, are they considered high-light orchids? Mine are growing leaves but not spikes and I wonder if I’m not giving it enough sun......
We always say use a special orchid fertiliser. Most fertilisers like baby bio, tomrite etc are too strong for orchids. We use medium, coarse bark. Thank you very much.
Orchid aficionada from Spain! Good to see you 👍🏼 i would really be interested to know how Brexit is affecting the import of new orchids IF at all. I hope that one day we can do a collaboration together, if you are interested?! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! 120 years! Thats awesome! 👍🏼
This is the first time I've watched a video on your channel it just popped up on my Newsfeed and I subscribed! I also shared this with two other Orchid channels on RU-vid Ed's orchids and a lady named Carolyn and her husband's name Jack and the combination of both their names is their RU-vid channel name which is j a c o l l y n s orchids... I also have my own RU-vid channel I have over 70 orchids but I do not have cymbidiums I live in the United States is it possible to buy any orchids from you! This is the most fascinating video I think I've ever watched on Orchids
Hi Kathleen, thank you that’s so kind! Unfortunately we do not ship to America due to costs involving pest and disease inspectors etc. Apologies. I will have a look at your channel ☺️ Thank you.
Buongiorno amò pazzescamente le orchidee.. cymbidium e phalenopsis... Ma la passione per le cymbidium è bellissima .. non c'è giorno che non le guardo che non le tocco mi fanno stare bene.. più ne ho di cymbidium più ne voglio sempre alla ricerca di nuovi colori.. grazie per eventuali vostri insegnamenti di coltura casalinga😊❤
Hi Caroline, this does happen occasionally and yes it may regrow from that bulb. Sometimes we take off old back bulbs and leave them in a pot with no compost and new growth occurs.
Che meraviglia davvero bravo top.. vorrei chiederle cortesemente.. un po' la cura e il trattamento ideale per avere delle cymbidium spettacolari dal rinvaso da che tipo di concime usare da che tipo di materiali ideale per il trapianto io attualmente uso mix per orchidee e vaso di terracotta leggermente più grande... E durante il travaso aggiungo del concime alle intercessione e ogni 20 giorni nel periodo primavera estate aggiungo anche del concime liquido alle innaffiature.. lasciandoli i miei cibi che ne ho bensì 10 sempre all'esterno riparati sotto il balcone e in inverno riparati dal tessuto non tessuto
