[QUOTE=twentyseven;551419]Thank you Cym Ladye! It was actually thanks to you that I started loving and collecting cyms, I attended your talk on repotting them at the Penn. show a few weeks ago.
Debi, I remember you and loved your enthusiasm and inquiring mind!
A few more questions:
- Does it require more frequent water because of its smaller pot size or do young plants need more to drink?
It requires more water because a smaller pot dries out faster.
- Would it be ok to keep it inside for perhaps the first year to keep it more protected or would the plant do better overall if it always lives outside?
Cymbidiums want to be OUTSIDE in our climate. Most, except those few bred for warm growing, will not bloom or thrive living indoors all year. Even warm growers benefit from a summer outside. The biggest problem is lack of adequate sunlight if kept inside.
- And I'm trying to learn the rules of labeling... Years down the line if I decide to sprout it from a backbulb would I label the name of this plant just like this one (the parent names) or would it simply be named 'Wild Lip' since its now registered?
Any divisions of any size from this plant must be named the same, as they are all pieces of the original plant.
I hope to see you at our next GCCG meeting in San Mateo this Friday and any more questions you might have can be answered in person! The speaker is George Hatfield of Hatfield Orchids in Ventura, Ca., probably the top hybridizer of Cymbidiums in the US right now.
