Poor bloom season
I currently have about 6 or 7 Cymbidiums in spike/bloom out of about 20. This has been a very poor bloom season for me. I lost a few spikes back in January due to a cold snap while I was out town. Plants made it OK, but a couple of nice plants lost spikes. I have 50% shade clothe over the south side of my patio to cut down on midday sun. Thinking next season I may roll the shade clothe back to allow more sun from Nov. to maybe March. I keep a sheet of plastic under the shade clothe to keep winter rain from waterlogging the plants.
Wondered if anyone else had trouble due to the cold this year?
