Cym NOID backbulb repotting
 

After this cymbidium bloomed, I asked how to go about repotting it. (never repotted one before)

So I did, and it's doing great. I was also told how to pot up back bulbs to attempt starting new growths. Okay, I did. To my surprise, all of them started new baby bulbs. Now the next question: Are these little guys far enough along I can put them into a regular S/H pot? Or is it too soon? Hopefully you can see from the last picture that four have at least one root, the rest just getting ready to.

Thanks in advance for your expertise.

:waving:bowing Hellooooo?

Certainly, those with roots can be potted up, but in reality they ALL can.

The way I have always rooted back bulbs is to nestle the base of the pseudobulb about 1/4 of an inch into constantly moist perlite, but a semi-hydroponic pot is mighty close.

Thanks Ray. Just had such success so quickly, didn't want to mess up a good thing. :)

I would pot up all of them. I do not use s/h so I would put them in 3" pots with a mix of 40% small coco husk, 40% Orchiata Classic and 20% #3 perlite. Labels on each would help identify them as well as when they were first started or at least potted up.
