Completely learned a ton. You know I have no clue when it comes to flowers so thank you for this information!
We freeze to much to grow those flowers and I don’t have a place to bring them in where they would get enough sun light. I’ll pass this video to my sister in California. The flowers are really beautiful. ❤️🌺
I would love to see you repot your orchid in May! ❄️💚🙃
Thank you Brian.❄️💚🙃
Is the picture the color of your orchid? ❄️💚🙃 Do they have a fragrance? ❄️💚🙃
Would love to see how to repot and how to divide thank you
👍
Thanks for this, orchids have always been my kryptonite, but I'm not giving up just yet 😁
I was recent given several large pots of orphan Cymbidium that need to be transplanted and loved up a lot. I'm in 10a and they are currently sitting on an eastern facing porch. I don't really know what to do with them, but I couldn't resist taking them. I would love a video on dividing and repotting them.
I had those orchids when I lived in California! for sure, definitely details are welcome!🤗💞🤗
For the life of me I can’t get my cymbidium to rebloom, please help 😢😢😢
I definitely need to see the repot in May. I love your Friday videos, I mean I love all your videos but I just love flowers a lot 😁
Perfect Timing! I just inherited close to a dozen Cymbidiums from a friend who is moving away. I ❤️ Cymbidium Orchids because mine seem to absolutely THRIVE on neglect – and still manage to produce a few blooms.
One of my older orchids – I swear I killed it! – well, after a year of randomly watering a clearly rootbound and DEAD pot of orchid stalks, the damn thing came back to life!
I call it my Zombie Orchid!
And yes, please repot an orchid in May! And please clarify my understanding – I believe orchids like to be a bit rootbound (although "a bit" can be wildly subjective!).
I would like to know more about orchids.
Ah HA! I finally know what I've got. My mother gave me one of those in 2006, and it grows outside in a large pot all year in Sacramento. Blooms regularly and is pushing out bloom stems right now. I never knew what kind it was, thanks.
I like the rock trick.
What do you think of using Sulphate of Potash before bulking stage to promote flowering.
I love cymbidiums! Because most of mine are over 20 years old and are fading, I started looking for replacements. I have had a hard time finding any in SD area. Have you found any for sale?
Thank you for making this video. I just got this orchid for my birthday (in may). My grandmother has been growing these outside for years (northern CA zone 9b). She gave me part of one of hers, so it's very special to me but it's a new plant I've never grown.
Perfect clear advice thanka
Hi Brian, definitely a yes please to dividing the orchids. We are mid summer here already but it will give us in the southern hemisphere something to reference in November. A number of mine need dividing but they seem to take a couple of seasons to recover after I do it. Also I am unsure how many of the older bulbs to remove and how much root should I leave on. I am looking forward to that video already.
