Wow Bob , 10000, are they all cymbids ? I have about 800 . If your family is anything like mine come repotting time they have things to do and places to go , so come repotting time you must be a lonely lonely man !!
In my method when the roots of the plant reach the bottom of the pot it is potted into the next size pot, this is easy to see as the plant pushes up.If you leave it too long it will try and push itself out of the pot !By doing it this way the plant produces a large healthy root system. I only allow the plant to become potbound once it it in a 175 mm or 200 mm pot depending on the plants progress . At a year they usually have a fair size bulb with a new growth on its way some have 2 new growths . I believe the Chinese cut the second growth off, the plant then flowers sooner They may be more interested in selling the flowers than the plant.
