- This video demonstrates how to propagate and take care of cymbidium orchids. In particular, it discusses the importance of choosing the right potting mix and fertilizers, the appropriate moisture, light and temperature levels, and the best spot in the garden for this plant.
Found an online organic gardening resource: gardeningebookstore.com/products/best-organic-gardening-book?sca_ref=2298216.o7fUyAbDib
Hello, I had just found your video. I am not sure if you would be able to give me advice on a large pot of orchids that I was just given by a friend who is moving house. I love orchids but never grew them before. I am very lost as to what I can yo with it. Can I propagate it and repot it to smaller plants? I can see that it is flowering. I do not hv alot of inside or shaded space. But have a big outdoor area. Would be lovely to get some expert advice from you. Thank you.
@@kathylee7528 Hi. Is it cymbidium orchid? The best time to propagate the plant is right after flowering. You can try to follow the way I divided the whole clump, make sure you use the right potting mix (it's labelled orchid potting mix), place it in a spot in your garden where there is partial shade (particularly to protect it from hot afternoon sun), and water it twice a week. All the best!
@ezigardening Hi, thank you for your reply. Another question i have also, do you have any recommendations to where I can buy the large barks besides the orchid mixes sold at local stores @ Bunnings, M10/warehouse? I do have a humongous cymbidium plant that very likely need to be splitted into at least 6 or 7 pots plus pots of psuedobulbs as well. Hoping to mix up own orchid mixes myself which would cost less than buying ready mixes. I would appreciate too if you have any tips concerning putting together your own orchid mixes. Cheers!
Hello kabayan. Salamat for the video and shared idea when to repot. Got them too. We are country neighbours. D2 ako sa Sydney. Salamat uli. Dami kong ire-repot.
I like your hooked tool used for detangling the roots.
Thanks for the lesson. One love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
You're welcome.
Amazing and simplified to make it easier to care for my orchids ❤
Very helpful that you are also in N.Z. I have old cymbidiums that I am trying to breathe new life into so your video was very helpful. Thank you
All the best!
Wow, I am so proud of you my 1976 batch mate @ ViSCA!
Thanks Ya Sue!
Thank you. Very informative po.
Thank you for very useful information. Great video regarding Cymbedium.
You're welcome.
...CYMBIDIUM ORCHIDS😍. . .
I'm an orchid grower from Baguio City, Philippines🤗. . .
My search of Cymbidium lead me to your channel😊. . .coz yesterday - a sudden very strong rain, lightening/thunderstorms with ice and strong wind happened in our city and some of my more than 80plus potted cymbidiums fell down😢. . .i am due for repotting supposedly nextweek but this occurence came without typhoon but just an LPA still from afar. .anyhow, i am looking for cymbidium growers who uses soil only and i haven't seen one yet. . .because i grow all my cymbidiums with pure soil mixed with compost made of kitchen n yard scraps i harvested myself. . .yes it is just soil because they are used to it already, and their placement is in the second floor terrace that can be blown by a strong winds so i want them to be in soil . .now, i see in you that a pinetree bark can be used mixed with some lime for the pH since pine are acidic. . .THANK YOU SIR🤗. . .I plan to cymbidium with soil mixed with pine barks and lime. . .after all, i'm from the city of pines so barks should be readily available...😊
The pine bark that I used are composted and commercially available. Not sure if fresh pine bark will work. Anyway, I wish all the best. Happy gardening!
Good video👍😁I used to grow many cymbidiums, now I'm starting to grow them again. My climate is freezing, dry, yet sunny in winter and a very humid summer 80%. I have a cymbidium indoors over winter by a sunny window. The room is unheated as I know cymbidiums like a cool winter. Thanks for the video😁👍💖
You're welcome.
Namaste friend very useful information sharing keep in touch joined you 🌹🙏
Thanks.
Hello Sir and New Zealnd! Thank you for sharing. The yellow one is spectacular and your video is thorough and lovely...
Many thanks!
I just rescued 3 pots of this orchid... they were up the back of a large and neglected garden.... with one of them, the roots are growing out of the bottom of the pot😯..
After watching this video, I am going to have a very good look at mine, buy some potting mix, and try to do as you did... 3rd August Blue Mountains NSW Australia
All the best!
Really informative video. Thank you!
I was given about 30, I have been lucky they have bloomed like crazy, with no help from me! But I will do better
All the best.
Wow you have been thourough & extremely helpful. Will be getting started on my many plants of cymbidiums which are over 4 dozens. Thanks Happy gardening
All the best!
Hi, thanks for this video with your tips. I just purchased 7 pots of cymbidiums for my collection and I am so happy with them. I hope I can keep them happy and I will make sure to apply your tips on my care for them. A new fan here.
Thanks. Enjoy the blooms this winter time!
Thank you for the information, appreciated! God bless.
Thank you... very informative... have a few only but i need to divide the biggest one... fuscha color... i noted you are NZ based... me too.. i visited a farm of cymbidiums where i bought a few pots... very nice
Wow beautiful ❤
Thank you. I really appreciated your tutorial and the wealth of knowledge you shared, especially helpful to beginners like myself. Could not help but admire all the beautiful succulents.
Thank you.
thank you! easy to understand
You're welcome.
Very informative - thanks!
You're welcome.
Great video, thank-you. Just wondering what to do with the ?back bulbs... can i revive them?
There is a chance they will grow and send out some shoots. Just keep them in your pots.
КРАСОТА и МИЛОТА!!!))... Очень красивые цимбидиумы, впрочем, как и все остальные Ваши цветы! Жаль, что видео без перевода... Лайк!!!))
Hi my name is Jan, I love your cymbidiums all the colors, I love to learn to grow cymbidium now.
Is it possible to buy few bulb’s from every color you have? I like to learn how to take care of them.
What do you think?
Sorry, we've just moved to Christchurch from Wellington. I brought some cymbidium plants with me and i'm just trying to see if the plants are happy in this much colder (but less windy) place. BTW, where are u based?
Möhteşemler bunlar ne gözellik biz burda zar zor yetişdiriyoruz ordaysa
Salamat sa Vedio sir,
Ask ko lang sana kung anong pueding fertilizer pag katapos mag repotting?dito rin ako sa New Zealand. Sir.
Thank you sir
Excellent video!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Is it okay to plant the orchids in ceramic pots?
yup, ceramic pots are among the best containers for orchids as they are porous and will prevent too much water accumulation in the medium.
@@ezigardening Fantastic!
Thank you so much for replying. 😁
Im a new grower and learning. The leaves of the original plant of my cymbidiums are dark green with white spots but the new shoots are a lighter green. Ive never had a bloom and Im in the Caribbean with very hot tempertures. What do u think the problem might be as they look unhappy.
Hello, thank you for your video. Question, how many hours of filtered sun per day does the cymbidium need?
About 5 - 6 hours should be sufficient.
Is it advisable to repot cymbidium when in bloom? Hope you notice my comment.
Thanks Misael. This was very informative. I have several Cymbidiums outside that have recently grown flower spikes...even though we are now in September in NZ. I assume I will need to wait until after flowering to divide the plants? PS I love your succulents in the background.
Thanks Sue. Yes, it is best to wait after flowering as it is always best to propagate plants when energy reserves of the plant is not spent on flower production. After flowering, energy reserves will be solely for the production of new roots and shoots of the divided plants. Cheers!
hello Misael....great video tutorial. if u do decide to sell your cymbidium I would love to be considered. I have only one cymbidium so I am still learning. Your succulents are beautiful 2 👍
Thanks.
Hollw! I love cymbidium and how I can buy
Hi Misael, I am also in NZ. I really like the two colours in your show. The creamy white and yellow colour are very beautiful. Are your in Auckland? Can I buy some from you.
No, sorry, I am based in Wellington. I have to propagate some more to be able to sell :)
I live in Greece and every summer my cymbidiums get fungal infections! What would u do to prevent this! Thank you
thank you Brod. Jun. May be I can start propagating my aglaonema and monstera. The same procedure ba pag propagate sa Calathea ? Thank you.
Hi sis, good timing, I have just published my video on how to propagate aglaonema and monstera. Please watch it. And yes, calathea and aglaonema are both propagated by crown division.
I just recently got a new mini cymbidium to replace the one I killed trying to learn how to care for them. I thought I had over watered it. I’m 78 and housebound so don’t buy green bananas any more so I just canned the old and bought a new one. It came potted in very little spag moss and is in spike. My question is when do I repot it and can it live in a self watering pot.
Hi, I am from Baguio City, Philippines. Where is your garden in NZ and do you sell cymbidium?
If the bulbs yellow, does it mean it's dead?
Do you think we can grown them in zone 8 Canada Vancouver??? Or should they be indoors, I grow hibiscus indoors (tropical) and outdoors (hardy). And I have Chinese ground orchids, helleborine orchids, (outside) and cattleya, dendrobium nobile, phalanopsis, and oncidium. I would like to try cymbidium they look very gorgeous
Cymbidiums are among the most hardy orchids, but they may succumb to frosts. They may do well outdoors but it is best to provide frost protection. Cheers!
What size pot to buy for repotting ? could you please tell me the name of fertilizers to buy. How often, when and how to put fertilizers.
About 20 -25-cm pots should be okay. I use controlled-release fertilizers (osmocote) just before spring time. You should find instructions on the fertilizer label as to how much to apply depending on pot size.
I is necessary to take out all old roots so that the new roots gets space I suppose.
Hi i got a gift Symbidian Orchid it has no roots it is put in some kind of gel...Do i have to get it out from the gel and put it in water or leave it be?
Not sure what that gel is but I think it is just a temporary medium. You need to transfer it into a pot using the medium that I described. Cheers!
In Central Luzon, Philippines, what can we do to override the warm weather so that the cymbidium will bloom?
...mmmmmm there are cymbidiums that grows well in the warm and cold so better research the warm tolerant cymbidiums. . .i live in the North of Luzon growing cymbidiums😊...
Hello manong, how long will it bloom after repotting?
They should start blooming in the second year.
I don't always see cymbidium sold in nurseries here in Rotorua...where can I order them? salamat sa video mo.
I'm based in Wellington. There are some nurseries here selling Cymbidium.
What fertilizer for cymbidium
where to buy cymbidium orchids in southern california
why didnt you trim the dead roots to make room for the new growth?
I did, actually. I removed the light, hollow, dried-up roots. Removing them would stimulate production of fresh, new roots.
I would trim the roots to a smaller size before placing it to the new pot. However, it would take the plant to grow more roots before growing new leaves at the top. When you have several months prior to have new blooms in the spring, then trim the roots.@@ezigardening
Why my cymbidiums not bloom,... and how does it take for a new growth to mature and be able to produce a flower spikes,... please 😊
The keys would be: right maturity, sufficient light, right temperature, rich soil, sufficient moisture. I have described all these in my video. Cheers!
@@ezigardening Thank you 😊
Thank you! =)
You're welcome.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I HAVE GREAT RESPECT ❤❤ FOR YOUR PRECIOUS Intelligence how your beautiful Cymbidiums are blooming. Our HOLY HEAVENLY FATHERGOD JHWH Loves You FOREVER PRECIOUS ♥️🌹 Personality.
Merry Christmas from Suriname 🔯
Amen!❤
My cymbydium start having yellow leaves, what must i do? I am in Whanganui. ...
It may be exposed to too much light. Filtered light (or partial shade) will be best for this plant. Also add fertilizers, as I've suggested in my video.
Where can I buy cymbidium plants.
Some time in Trader Joe …. In S. California (Los Angeles).
You can order from some Orchids nursery in Florida - Hawaii….
Can I put them inside the house
I put them inside the house when in full bloom.
Thank you very informative and to the point
Hello, Do you sell Cymbidium ? I live in Florida. TY
Cymbidium bloom late December- early spring - last for months ….
Do you sell them?
No, not cymbidium yet. But I do sell some succulents and some hedge plants.
Traduzi o português
I accidentally ripped the new leaf out of my cymbidium will it still grow a new leaf?
I saw some yellow on the leaves we’ve had some heavy rain so I checked the roots to see if we’re just overwatering so I lightly and stupidly pinched the new leaf and it just slid right out but it’s still very green did I just kill my one of a kind orchid.?🥹😅😭
