You'll be horrified at this!

.... or maybe not so surprising. Look at the picture. Here we have a poor old Cymbidium completely pot bound and sharing the pot with a Spider plant, but hey! it's happy hahahaha. What a nightmare trying to separate those roots.

Many of our/my Mothers, Orchids have been rather neglected in some ways, most of the pots have Shamrock, ferns, or in this case, Spider plants growing along with them.

Having had all the Cymbidiums since 1971, they ain't done so bad eh?
