Warm Cym Failures, Cold Cym Succeses… what am I doing wrong?!

[ClevelandFinds]

Hello!!

So long story short, I love cymbidiums, they are my absolute favorite orchid. I have been very much successful in growing cold cyms in zone 6 for some time now. However, I have absolutely zero luck with warm cyms despite getting my cold ones to bloom every season between the lot of them.

My warm cym is absolutely beautiful, or at least the massive amount of foliage I have. It sends out new growths often, in fact, there is almost ALWAYS new growths but never so much as a thought about spiking! I divided and repotted it two years ago. The other half went to a friend who is also experiencing issues blooming despite all the new growths.

I have read they like to be somewhat rootbound, but also read about them not wanting to be rootbound. The plant will likely need to be transplanted up next spring but wondering what the point is if the damn thing will never bloom.

Unfortunately I do not have a tag to provide the name of this massive plant.

Not to sound rude, but please spare me with the basic care of a cym… I have all that information already to be honest. I need some advance guidance as nothing I’ve done seems to work. Almost thinking I have a wonderful pot of decorative grasses! Ha!
