Cymbidium questions
Hi everyone, again I have a couple of more cymbidium questions. First I would like to say, the cymbidium pictures I posted a while back in a different posting, I meant know harm towards the person I bought them from, they seem to doing alright despite the one that is still pushing sap out from the stem leaves and psuedobulb, and there is no spike nor division point on this plant. I guess I just need to stop worrying and just let it be and see what happens. The one that is pusing sap out is also forming new roots I do believe, or at least I see little nubs at the base of the psuedubulb that looks like they might becove roots (yes I love looking closely at my plants!)
Anyways....my two questions: The person who I bought my cymbidiums recommended me to put the plants outside since the weather is nice enough.....this weekend it will be in the mid 80's and low's will be mid 50's. I am fine with that, my question is one of the plants is in a black plastic nursery pot which sits on a humidty tray of pebbles and water. I tried to postition the plants to wear they would be shaded throughout the day since it will be sunny all day long. Will this black pot and the sun cook the plant? Can cymbidiums handle alot of sun? I read somewhere they only needed 20% shade but I am not quite sure what that translates too. Next week it is supposed to rain, should I bring it doors then? I would hate to have the plants over watered since I already water them about once a week.
Please let me know your opinions and thanks a bunch! Oh, and sorry about the long post!
