Cym NOID backbulb repotting

[WaterWitchin]

After this cymbidium bloomed, I asked how to go about repotting it. (never repotted one before)





So I did, and it's doing great. I was also told how to pot up back bulbs to attempt starting new growths. Okay, I did. To my surprise, all of them started new baby bulbs. Now the next question: Are these little guys far enough along I can put them into a regular S/H pot? Or is it too soon? Hopefully you can see from the last picture that four have at least one root, the rest just getting ready to.



Thanks in advance for your expertise.

Hellooooo?

Certainly, those with roots can be potted up, but in reality they ALL can.

The way I have always rooted back bulbs is to nestle the base of the pseudobulb about 1/4 of an inch into constantly moist perlite, but a semi-hydroponic pot is mighty close.

Thanks Ray. Just had such success so quickly, didn't want to mess up a good thing.

I would pot up all of them. I do not use s/h so I would put them in 3" pots with a mix of 40% small coco husk, 40% Orchiata Classic and 20% #3 perlite. Labels on each would help identify them as well as when they were first started or at least potted up.
