Cymbs - 15 spikes in 4 plants

[rbarata]

Not all of them are open yet but...anyway, I like it!
But I have something more in my second balcony...when the time comes I'll post it!

Just spectacular, rbarata! Great growing!!! I love the meld of the colors, almost like you planned it.

Thank you. There's still a white with red spots on the lip to bloom. But it would be great to have some blue ones.
Anyone knows blue cymbs? I think I've never seen it...

Wonderful!

I've posted this one before...anyway, here's a photo of the flower and the plant with at least 10 spikes (not all opened yet).
This one is smaller with flowers half the size of the others before.
One year ago it was completely infested with a kind of scale called here conchinilla. Now it's completely clean.





This is the last one. After more than 15 years bloomed for the first time 2 years ago and now again with more flowers and spikes.
Not the best light but...

rbarata, you made my afternoon. These are stunning, great growing! Thank you for sharing!

My cymb is in the greenhouse...doing nothing...While the mini in the house has a new shoot...go figure.

I'm not sure how's the climate in north IN but I suspect it's too cold in winter. When temps go over 32 F (and if you're sure it won't drop later) you can put them outside, sheltered from frost. Bright indirect light, maybe a bit of sunshine during the morning, for ex, and it will grow fast.

Now with temps increasing you should see some pointy new growths growing from the base of the pbulbs. Although they can handle periods of drought (ex, one week or a bit more) they like lots of water with warm temps as well as the recommend dose of fertilizer.
