- In this video, I'm repotting my only cymbidium.
Please note that there is no mention of the 'F' word in the title. You can choose which 'F' word I'm referring to after you've watched the video - who knows, you may think of more than one?
Also, for those waiting for the 'Plant Give-Away Draw', I'm hoping to film that tomorrow (Sunday).

I just bought several LARGE potted Cyms at an estate sale. I told her i would take good care of her mother's orchids.... she sold them to me for a steal $5! Going back for more. Getting educated on them, i can't wait.
Thank you for the great advice.
Some orchids are fussy, but cymbidium is one of my fave ..because its very easy to handle.. Anyway thank you for the nice video!
Thanks for watching
Sorry to hear about her neighbours' loss :( . I hope she can carry on growing his plants with prosperity! :)
As they say 'death and taxes' - the only certainty.
Despite the serious content there were still moments for a good laugh. Thanks Roger.
I hope your daughter watches this video. She might not be surprised to see what you do for her but certainly touched by the gesture of her loving father.
Have a nice Sunday !
Thanks
Good job, Roger, hopefully your cymbidium will be fine, keep us updated.
Will do
Nice video, usefull if you need to repot a cymbidium for the first time!
And oh my... I'm thinkink about my Cymbidiums plants that needs to be repotted next spring... and three big plant need to be divided too... that is going to be a funny video! And, I know already, I'm going to have to bleep out a lot of words! :)
I need to find those cymbidiums pot though...
If you search on ebay for 'deep plastic pots' you should find some.
Cymbidiums are my absolute favorite orchid. Alas, I don't have any as they are too big for me right now with my current situation of moving back and forth between homes. If I ever see the minis another viewer spoke of, I may change my mind. Good luck. I hope it lives and blooms once more.
Some of the mini-cymbidiums still have quite large blooms and often have a lot more of them per spike. They still have the range of colours too.
Thanks for sharing Roger! Very considerate of you to keep it, sorry about the previous owner.
I remember it one time in the past you were telling quite enthusiastically, you don't grow them, they are just too big for you. And I just saw yesterday a very nice bunch of Holland Cymbis at one of my favorite flower retailers which were quite small compared to the general ones. Some Sharry Babies are bigger than those were. The thought cross my mind, well, even Roger could grow these minis, they are really windowsill sized. And look at the title, you reporting a Cymbidium. I honestly wondered you went and bought one of these Holland mini ones.
( Liked the glass you after-sterilized your tools in :):)
Have a nice one, looking forward to the next update and the announcement of the happy winners!
BR,
Maria
I don't think this one will get too big so for obvious reasons it's worth a try.
wish you the best hope to see cymbidium growing healthy and strong and blooming
Time will tell.
Sad story about your daughter's neighbour. Keep my fingers crossed for that Cymbidium, I am sure he would have liked that. And the blooms are so nice, so it is really worth a try.
I'll try most things (once) but this has 'extra reasons'.
Watched this video to repot my cymbidiums Thanks for this video Learnt a great deal.
I only have one.
Thank you 🌸Very helpful
I used an axe at our repotting workshop recently. We had some monsters to divide and repot.
The Aussie Orchid Axe Murderer strikes again - it was on all the news channels?
Oh no. The dreaded F word! I hope the cymbidium rallies, Roger. Cymbidius really are tough cookies so I hope it does well for you. I notice you have the same problem as me - when repotting I never quite mix enough bark! Thanks for sharing.
PS How is that ebay cymbidium that you sold do in the end?
I normally get some left over but that was a 'big' pot! The guy that cymbidium came from kept his orchids in different rooms and always took them to the sink/drainer to water (not shared water) so I think this one has had the 'F' stuff for some time and is still growing a new growth and roots so it may 'push through it' - with the help of the systemic fungicide it's getting every chance.
As you know, your experience with cymbidiums is not unusual. They can survive all sorts, even heavy frost, and they are vigorous growers. It's the getting them to reflower that often defeats.
That one went to the chairman of our OS - I will ask.
Any bark should be well broken down...like old USED bark from other orchids...use plenty of pumice
All the best ...maybe it returns the favor with a flower :)
If it does, it will probably be in about 1 year's time. Getting it back to full health is the main thing.
Hi. Could you tell me which type of active ingredient is in the fungicide you're using to control the fusarium please? I've just chucked a newly bought orchid with fusarium (that was annoying, don't expect it in a new plant) and I have a few malingering orchids I've been nursing that now I feel like spraying just as a precaution as perhaps the fusarium may be the cause of the malingering (phals, so can't cut rhizome) Thanks, Jennifer
The label says "A ready to use aqueous formulation containing 0.125g/l trifloxystrobin and 0.125g/l tebuconazole" if that makes any sense? It also says "Contains 5-chloro-2-methyl-isothiazol-3-one/2-methyl-isothiazol-3-one" which makes even less sense? They can be googled to get more info. They 'can' be dangerous to both 'us' and the environment so MUST be used and disposed of with extreme care. The actual product is Bayer Fungus Fighter Plus.
Thanks, it does. I've got one with one of those ingredients. Did you find any confirmation those ingredients will target fusarium specifically? Thanks : )
Yes but it took ages and loads of reading. The details were in papers dealing mainly with 'crops' rather than specifically about orchids. They did have 'risks' and were classed as 'medium' in the low/medium/high categories for environmental damage.
Thanks so much for your time and input Roger. I will experiment on some expendables : ) Happy Growing!!
I was wondering if you still had this Cymbidium & if it ever flowered for you & if you were able to treat the Fusarium effectively?
I still have the Cymbidium - it lives outside in the warmer weather. It has bloomed every year during the Winter when it is in the growroom.
Good information Roger, thanks!
Thanks for watching.
fifififiusarium lol, are you going to mention me on every repotting video? I hope the plant will do well, even is infected I see no signs of slowing down because of that, the root system was bigger than the plant itself and you will have new growths too.
I hope it makes it - some orchids live with the dreaded 'F' and still seem to do ok?
Good on you for keeping it for your daughter. Is there an update on this plant?
Not really but it has been filmed a few times. It's got a spike at the moment so will get filmed as that progresses and blooms.
Thanks for that ....well done
Hi Roger; is the 3% peroxide diluted with water?
Thank you so much!! Love your channel 😊
3% H2O2 is used 'as is'.
@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Cimbidiums will not bloom if kept indoors all year...must go through cold spell. I bring indoors or garage when temps get down to close 40 Fahrenheit..no need to sterilize, as they will grow in dirt...easiest orchid to grow..
There are many types of Cymbidiums including some warm growers - they still need a drop in temp but not a 'chill' - there are even some that are epiphytes. This is my only one and it will go outside in the Spring and get watered/fed very well through until the cold nights start. The room it's in at the moment is unheated, and it's on a south facing window sill so bright light and cool temps. As it's got fusarium, it's not getting anywhere near any of my other orchids.
How is the plant doing now? I love Cymbidiums :)
It's about to 'come in' for the Winter so I'll film it in the next couple of days - it just gets 'forgotten' as it spends a lot of it's time outside. It either has two spikes, a spike and a new growth or 2 new growths - not sure which yet. I'll have a closer look when I bring it inside for the Winter.
Pls advise me how to bloom soon cymbidium
The spikes are triggered by much cooler nights during Autumn.
I didn't notice, did you spray it with fungicide?
I had to take it out in the back garden as it's quite a strong chemical but the whole plant got sprayed including the roots for maximum effect. I'll have to spray it twice more - in a week and then two weeks after that.
So is it doing OK? hopefully you'll do a follow up?
Far too early to tell - it'll need a couple of months with no set-backs and the new growth pushing on continuously. I'll do a follow-up in the spring if it's not under the hedge.
Is this a plastic or clay pot? Does it matter with these?
I know very little about Cymbidiums - I don't really want to grow these but was asked to look after this one for 'sentimental reasons'. It's a plastic deep pot - I do know that they prefer a deeper narrow pot.
I have been watching you and I use to work in a hospital and you should have put on gloves a soon as you found that purple ring. And please stop touching your face! I am just trying to look out for you and your other orchids. It seems like you have a bunch of niece orchids
And imo this sterile ultra-clean world people live in is EXACTLY why their immune systems don't work anymore and there is so much illness around. The expression is 'eat more dirt' - I don't think it's supposed to be taken literally though. My way of life, my choice of fresh food and plenty of fresh air means I don't get colds, I've only had flu once when I was about 20, I don't get headaches, I don't get anything. I like it that way. Our immune system needs work - it needs something to do a bit like a muscle otherwise when it's really needed it doesn't do the job - that's how vaccinations work. So no pills, no processed food, and stay mobile - we will see who lives longest? I was careful to wash-up after handling that orchid and it is separate from the others - I was also VERY careful with the fungicide. I have been fine the way I work and still am - I don't own any gloves and have no plans on getting any. Thanks.
