Repot Cymcidium Green Maureen in S/H now or next year

[Orchid-Obsessed]

Hello

I received a blooming sized Cymbidium Maureen carter x ensiflolium (album) Thursday last week in the mail. The potting mix were scattered in the box so I repotted in fine bark mix with sponge rocks and black lava rocks.

It’s only been a few days, and I’m wondering if I can pot it in S/H now, Or will it totally sulk on me?

After reading about how well they do in S/H and other advantages of them being in S/H-should I switch them over? Given how they don’t like their roots disturbed, and if I keep in bark mix, they’ll need to be repotted after 2-3 years.

There was a new root, 1/4” long which I hope I didn’t hurt when I was repotting in bark mix on Thursday.

So, switch to S/H now, wait till next year or wait until the next repot?

PS: I read both the General and the Detailed info about S/H in First Rays website and will follow them all (except the new root condition after the repot on Thursday, I don’t know how it is now).

Thanks for your thoughts.

If you’ll be growing it in a relatively warm and bright environment, and it is in need of repotting, go for it. If, on the other hand, your growing area will be on the cool side, I’d wait for Spring.
