Cymbidium sinense
 

Not in bloom but anyway here are some interesting leaves......

Hi,

This is the first flask from the WOC I have deflasked, the plants are big and the leaves were trying to grow through the cork in the top of the flask. I have potted them up in small coconut with some large bark in the bottom for extra drainage. I will grow them inside my home for a while until I can put them outside in the shade house. For a Cym these are an intermediate grower compared the the cold growing 'normal' Cyms I have. If anyone has any tips at all for growing these other than ..............not to cold and not to hot then I would appreciate it. They are large plants out of flask and were probably left in there to long, thus the concertina effect on some leaves.

P.S. They seem to put out a rhizome, on many this was an awkward position for potting up so I cut the rhizome (something i hadn't seen on a Cym before) and have potted each plant individually.

Thanks
