Cymbidium devonianum growing has stopped!

[Burgos]

Hi everybody!!

I have a Cym. devonianum since autumn, it stood the winter temperatures (-2º C in winter) and started growing in spring. However, the 2 new shoots that were growing suddenly stopped doing so and I can not come to the reason why this happened. The plant has 5 bulbs and it does not look like having any kind of disease nor parasites. I even had a look at its roots and they were perfectly ok, growing and healthy.

My culture is 25-30ºC (highest temp. during the day), 8-12ºC (at night) and some sunlight at morning and afternoon.

Can anybody help me to make it grow again?

Thanks.

I do grow cym. devonianum. Mine here in the UK has just put on a couple of new growths since it finished flowering. These growths are now about 15cm long.

I don't take that much notice of how fast the growths develop but I would not worry if mine stalled for a few months.

The flowers emerge in the spring after a slight dry rest with no feeding in winter

. Seems your plant did not bloom for spring and kept growing right on thru to mid summer hey?. Your plants clock might be off a bit bec you said you gave it "Some light". All I read show me that these need "Some BRIGHT light". Most growth and or bloom related issues like this seem to have there base in not being given enough light. I would say put it back in Some "MORE brighter" light see if the new growths pick back up and continue to grow or if not you should have some off season blooming maybe.

I have one no name cym w/ only 2 new ones and its in full sun all morning to around noonish when the death line appears. Been Growing like a weed (all 2 new growths..woohooo) I even think its shooting a spike up for this autumn. But thats my if inflation hasnt knocked it down to A single pence yet

Well, thank you guys!

I just moved the C. devonianum to a brighter place, it has 2-3 hours of sun at morning and then in the afternoon it takes 1-2 more hours.I hope it'll start growing again, I might not get flowers, but at least it will survive which is what counts after all.

Thanks

I just looked this up on IOSPE PHOTOS
- it does say that it "needs a semi rest from water and fertilizer in the winter to insure proper blooming"

Thanks for the info.!!

Anyway, I think this plant has had very little water during winter since it is very cold in my town in that period.

I really appreciate your help
