Hi Des

A lot of us try to grow Cyms...only some of us have success. I have a number of them but only a few have bloomed

We have lots of folks using semi-hydroponics but I don't remember anybody growing in a full hydropic setup. We'd love to see pictures and hear some more about your 'chids. Do you grow anything else?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Cool Des, Welcome to the forum
Can I assume they are warm growers. Photos would be great if you have them

Enjoy your time here!

Hi Des, we grow a lot of Cyms in coconut and have great success with it. It will be interesting to hear about your hydroponic success.

Welcome to the forum.
