Question re lack of blooms with Cymbidium
Hi, Try to make a long story short. Got a Cymbidium in April 2009 with about 8-9 pseudobulbs filling a pot 6.5 inches wide by 6.5 inches deep (about 1 gal?). Repotted it into 3 similar sized pots (6.5 x 6.5) in May and then left them outside (So. NJ) thru Sept. In late Sept found that they were doing well but I was using regular potting mix not orchid potting mix so I changed most of the soil to orchid mix which was much more porous. Took them in in Oct and they all are doing great. Pots have 2 to 4 mature pseudobulbs and 2 to 6 new spikes that started in the fall and at least one, possibly 2 could be repotted in the spring as they are 1/2 inch from the side of the pot. Did I screw it up by repotting? Is there a chance for flowers, I don't see any inflorescens? Will I have to wait til next year? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Mike
