2 quick questions

[Cym Ladye]

In regard to the Cym:

Inadvertently, you potted it in too small a pot for a normal two-year growth, but in so doing you did a good thing by not "over-potting" and causing the media to hold too much moisture because it was not being absorbed by the few roots that may remain.

That said:
1) Yes, I would definitely repot again in spring when the weather warms up and you can take it outside for the summer.
2) I would use a standard 1 gallon black pot. The one it is in will be too small for normal growth and I have never found clear pots good for Cyms.
3) Bury the pseudobulbs deeper in the pot, 1/3 is the best solution. Cym roots want to be IN THE POT, not on top.
4) Use a finer mix. 1/2 fine and medium bark + 20% perlite, if you want to go with bark; CHC medium chips and 20% coarse perlite if you want to go with Coco chips. I suspect your root rot was caused by the plant sitting in water and an old mix, not the size of the media. Roots will rot in any mix if allowed to sit in old, standing water.
5) When you repot, if you did not do this the first time, cut the old roots to about three inches from the bottom of the pseudo bulbs, UNLESS THEY HAVE NEW GROWTH AT THE TIPS. Remove any soft mushy tissue which may still be covering any of the remaining roots (Velamin).

If you email me privately, I will send you the repotting instructions we use for our GCCG Cymbidium club's annual hands on potting workshop. I have sent it out to several OB members.
