Marissa,

I am sure you know this is not a small plant for limited space. When you move it into a 3-gallon pot this season when it is through blooming to have room for those exuberant new growths, and the bloom spikes reach the three foot length with 35+ flowers that they can have, you will need to build another greenhouse in addition to the ones you currently have.

Hi CL,
Yeah, I'm getting ready to repot it soon and hopefully get a long spike next season. I think the previous owner (I got it a few months ago from our local Cym. Society show) hasn't repotted it in years.

Hi Marissa,

My best advice when re-potting your madidum is to make it the first plant of the day to work on. Do not make it the last as the root ball and the smaller roots make it a !@#$% to clean up! Cym. tracyanum is an equally challenging plant to re-pot too. In my years of experience, both these species will take far longer to clean up than the average Cym. hybrid.
