What Have I Done!! Gigantic Std Cymbidium Valley Kiwi "Wow"
So to be honest I am not really into Cymbidiums. I think they are very pretty and all, but they are much to large and require much too much light for me to possibly give them in my house in the winter.
Alas one bad part of being in charge of live goods in a retail environment is I can order things not only I like but I think customers will like (even though I know most of them are doomed to death no matter how much information I give out on culture and needs).
I have resisted the urge to buy Cymbidiums in the past but this time I just couldn't resist. Not only did I purchase the biggest one in the whole shipment I had to have one of the only ones that came without its tag...sigh...but I did it...Cause I'm an addict...but not bad for $24.99
This "Big Bertha" as I will call her, stands about 3 3/4 feet tall with what looks like 5 new growths and with 1 almost fully matured spike and 3 more on their way.......With lovely very large flowers that even "cupped" such as they are measure just shy of 4 inches..
I think it really really needs to be re-potted..the roots are amazing but that 8 inch pot is ready to burst..was thinking of just putting it in a 10 inch without disturbing its root mass..Good idea or should I just leave it?
