Do you actually eat gingerbread, or did you buy it for the jar? |

You didn't realize that nautical themed pots cause explosive root growth?! I thought everyone knew that!
jk
I honestly don't know how it got painted. I think I grabbed some used pots from someone and it was painted! |

Come on estación seca! You know me better... that's a Gingerbread scent candle jar, of course.

Steve, you need to re-examine your repotting schedule. Catasetum aren't the only ones that require an occasional repot.

I needed to repot my one and only Cymbidium and found this in the pot. No wonder water was having a tough time penetrating!!

I honestly don't know! Looked like a wall of roots, so I just plunked it into a larger pot with media.

I know this thread is about huge sprawling roots and I have plenty of those (although nothing like some of the pictures on here) but I will be showing a completely different root for personal reasons because although this will just look like any old root to everyone else, some of you will know how much just a simple root on a dying orchid can mean.
This orchid hasn't been dying but as I have discovered a cymbidium has no problem completely filling a pot with roots in just one growing season, this one has not produced a single new root in ..... 2 years and today I finally discovered not just a root but a root the size of the stem, you can see the state of the old 2+ year roots and that this one desperately needed to get going but it's been a long journey with this one and this is just the start lol.
Oh yeah you need to look real closely, inbetween the leaves! I know, nothing to look at but sentimental root
