Repotting Rotting Cymbidiums & Propagating Cyms from Back Bulbs 

Good to see an Orchids Tutorial on your channel ☔

Great video on Cymbidium care😊🙏💖I did watch your earlier video on Cymbidiums too. I need to try growing Cymbidiums again. The Summers are over 35℃ daily. So, when I buy a new one I plan to grow it in another area of the yard where it's shady, cooler and protected from excess rain. I'm very determined to succeed this time🙏Cymbidiums are beautiful orchids😊💖

A great video. Thanks so much. Always learning well from you.

I really enjoy your orchid videos. Cymbidiums is one orchid type I don't have.

I am glad you did not lose your Cymbidium. They resisted quite well to excess of water. I have seen single back psb grow new shoots but it will take 4 to 5 years to be able to bloom 😊

Great repotting. I just had a similar experience. I had to repot a cymbidium which was mistakenly overwatered and was surprised to see that some of the roots were still good.

Those Nerines looks beautiful!

Thankyou for sharing Rachel. Do not complain too much on rainy wheather, in Tuscany we had a very anomalous summer, too hot or too cold days for the season, very little rain, so I had to water often my cymbs or they would literally dessiccate. Result? Some of them got root rot. It's a true game of patience and perseverance, and sometime a bit exasperating one! 🙁

Oh, now i eish i lived next door, so i could go through your trash and grab the discarded orchids haha. This is a great video for educational purposes, luckily i don't need it right now. Managed to kill all of my orchids and most of my plants due to my depression acting up and not finding the energy to care for them, but I'm getting back into the game.

I have lots of Phalenopsis orchids but haven’t had too much luck with cymbidiums! Thanks for your video on repotting cymbidiums which I did on my pink and yellow! I left the big pink one whole in a big pot with just 2” around sides, as hopefully won’t have to wait two years for flowering!There is quite a bit of space under in the dirt as not lots of roots? Will they grow down very quickly! I know that now they need very little watering and all!( Greece I live and it’s very hot in the summer here) Both had lots of rotten bulbs especially the yellow one! I have 4 backbulbs and do you recommend small individual pots ; I have seen them planted in low rounder pots several bulbs together! Which is better ?

I have been thinking about potting cymbidiums in shallow bowl type of pots. It would make them dry out faster and also it would be more stable when hanging flowers form. What do you think about that? Greetings fom Latvia

You used this substrate for phalaenopsis orchids ? What do you think, is it good?

I don't see why you can't keep them in the glasshouse all year. The winter blooming species will typically grow just fine in Florida even with our summer heat, the problem is that we don't get cool enough early enough or long enough in order to bloom them.
