Hi Marissa,

You're so lucky!

All of them are great, but I love your Honey Bunny 'Sugar Candy'

From your #4 photo, I can see you have lots of Cyms. How many do you have?

Also, do you have Cyms hanging on top of other plants?
How does that layout work for you?

Sorry about all the questions :blushing:

Regards,

Rodrigo

Wow, really love that pendant one. These have really become popular in the cut flowers trade.

Thanks Rodrigo, I don't have an exact count maybe 300 or so. I have them in a 10 ft. high shade house under a 75% shade net, I added more pipes on the top so I can have more room to hang the pendulous. I think it works fine because the ones on the bottom are still getting enough light and we get a lot of winds in our area so there's a lot of air movement.

I am attaching a photo of the shade house. It is 20'x30' but I'm sharing it with a friend and I get half of it.

Thanks Marissa
Nice setup!
With all those flowers in there, you could open a flower shop!

I was specifically thinking about drain water from the hanging plants falling on the bench plants. Has that been any problem?

Rodrigo

No, haven't had any problem, and all the cymbidium growers that I know have this kind of set up to save on space.

Marissa.
Your posts are a delight - wish you the best of success. The only plant in the the group that I have is Honey Bunny. Can vouch for its warmth tolerance.
Its a reliable bloomer in Jacksonville Fla.

Thanks, I also keep a lot of heat tolerant cymbidiums. The Honey Bunny and Strawberry Milk are recently re-potted and hopefully they have better blooms next year.
