Cymbidium orchid, I'm confused :) Female
Question Cymbidium orchid, I'm confused :)

Hello!
I’m back with questions
I found another spike on one of my cymbidiums. All I know about cold growing cymbidiums is they need cold nights to send spikes. Temps from 75 days and 55 nights In Spring-Fall shade from hot sun and cool nights. Bring them in before frost ”October-November” and take them back out after frost passes ”March-April”. Bloom spikes late Fall early Winter. Blooming in Winter to early Spring. They are slow growers. To my estimation my spikes will be in bloom April-June in will take 2-3 month to grow spikes, right?
My spikes appeared in beginning and end of January, isn’t it late?
All of my cymbidiums are rescue from places like Home Depot and Lowes, I bought them in December 2013, they had broken bloom spikes, root rot, bulb rot and dehydration. They were still in gift wrap so tight that it cut into bulbs, discarded in to 80% sale pile. I repotted them, cut them to the point they had 2 bulbs left, used Physan 20 and Phyton 27 and Cinnamon on cuts. All I wanted is for them to grow new roots and new growth. I did not follow warm days cool nights routine, all I wanted for them to get well. I put them outside in March and In early Fall I took them inside my apartment, they grow along my Dendrobium, Cattleya, Vanda, Cymbidiella, Warm growing Cymbidium and Zygopetalum, temperature 68-82, humidity 48-64. I have three Sun Systems with 16,000 lumens each, real sun indoors So I did not expect any spikes, especially ones that need to tear through three leaves to grow out. And that why I asked if it is normal in my first post.
This is pictures of my first, second and third spike, they got bigger. All three are different cymbidiums, on one I found tag when i repotted it ”Sky Mint”, the rest are noid. In total there are six of them, five big, one mini. Two growing spots, one “Sun System”, another modified “AeroGarden” lights.
Sorry picture is so yellow.
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Ooo..The ones that with spikes have sap on their leaves?
It is yammy and sweet
