Can it grow to fast??? Female
Default Can it grow to fast???

everyone,

A newbie here with a totally dumb question I think, LOL...Can an orchid grow to quickly? The Cym I bought last week is going absolutely nuts. Here are some not so great pics...

The new growth on the right was practically non existent last week


This is looking down into the center of the plant so you guys can kind of see what is going on


Here is where it lives for the time being at least, sorry for the poor pic, the light in there is rather bright, I didn't use a flash


Here are the flowers which are beginning to open


This plant has 2 large psuedobulbs(?), the new growth which can be seen in the first pic on the right and 2 more new growths which are just beginning as well as the spike (I'm not even counting whatever is in the very middle as I can't exactly tell what's in there, LOL)...I am watering approx every other day and just lightly fertilized it for the first time today with a water soluble fert. The temps stay approx. 80 degrees in there all the time so it is drying out quickly.

I know I can't transplant until after it is finished blooming
but I am wondering if it is growing to fast for it's own good?

Also when I do transplant should I divide it or just put it in a larger pot? I like the fullness of it but would like to do what is best for the plant It is in a 6" plastic pot for now, if I leave it together can you possibly tell me what size pot I should go to considering all the new growth?

And one last question please...I really like the glazed ceramic pots, but I am assuming they can't breath with the glaze. Are glazed pots okay or are they a bad thing?

Thank you all for your help, I've been reading but I have such silly questions that I don't think anyone else has asked them
