Hi all,
I'm going to start off by saying that I have no experience with Cyms whatsoever.
So I bought a Cym. Kiwi Midnight 'Geyserland' division from a seller on eBay. She sent it to me with 2 bulbs, one of which started losing leaves pretty much the day that it got here, the other wich is doing well and is sending up 2 new growths. I potted them both in Cymbidium Imperial mix from Repotme and one bulb on the Kiwi Midnight has been declining ever since. It has now lost all of its leaves and turned completely brown, I think it's dead. Here is a pic of what it looks like now:
It also seems to be sending up what might be a spike, because it doesn't look like the growths on the other one. Here is a picture:
My questions are: is this a spike? If so, should I let it keep growing and flower even though the plant only has 1 bulb and it doesn't look that healthy to begin with? And if I shouldn't let it flower, how do I go about preventing it?
Thanks in advance!
