Up-potting cymbidiums, Do I cut 2/3rd of the root mass? Male
Question Up-potting cymbidiums, Do I cut 2/3rd of the root mass?
Hello all,

Hope you and your orchids are all doing well.

I have a question, I have been growing several cyms in a semi-hydro hydroton setup, some of the are due to be moved to bigger size pots after the blooms fade, I do not want to divide them.

Initially when I potted them 3 years ago, I removed 2/3rd of the root mass? or do I keep them intact and just use more media and bigger pots?

Thank you in advance

If there are no obvious signs of rot, I'd just move the plant up and fill in the extra space with more LECA.

Done.

I agree with Ray on this if you are using leca and the condition of the plants is as shown.
