What an endeavor! I have a mid size catasetum that will have to be cut too...dreading it since some old bulbs died and left caves for spiders to hang out. Once I cut into it, I just hope it won’t be full of 🕷 😱 The new pots look great and hopefully they will continue to grow well!
I bought a few cymbidium orchids at estate sales that were in about the same state. I remember wondering what became of the potting medium. (I did find a few slender salamanders among the roots, and relocated them to my front yard, away from my voracious hens.) Also, I was amused by your assessment of the scent of the flowers!
Are your arms sore from all that sawing and pulling? When I have to do a repot like that, that's it for the day. I'm giving a couple Cattleya the side eye because they were just repotted last year and they're hanging over the edge of the pot. I'm tempted to just get a bigger pot, toss some media in the gap and call it a day.
I feel bad for that conservatory, I mean destroyed by hail is a pretty rough way to go out. Anyways, I’d love to take you up on some of the backbulbs. I have a tiny little piece of a cymbidium a society member gave me and it’s doing well so I kind of want to try more cymbidiums cuz why not? If you’re still willing to give them away please let me know how you want me to send the money over for shipping
They did a fundraising campaign and fixed the glass, but they had to sell many of the plants because all the production greenhouses were also destroyed and they could not store the plants over the winter.
@@SpencerAloysius I’m sorry, what is the email address/PayPal account and how much would you guesstimate the shipping will be? Also, I’m glad that conservatory got repaired. It would have been a real shame had it just been left in ruins

Great repoting and care tips. Love the blooms of this cymbidium. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
Amazing and very helpful tutorial. Thank you.
I would have like to see more of your potting mix and how you repot.
I'd love to have a try at those back bulbs.
Send me an email. I need your zip code in order to calculate shipping.
@@SpencerAloysius May I also try some of those back bulbs, too if they are still available? Thank you

Good luck on your repotting.

Its a serious repot when there is a saw involved!
wow that cymbidium is so huge😱🤲💖How's it doing now? Growing well?
Nice.
Nice. Do you still have some back bulbs to give away? I am interested. Thanks!
Good work. Have the repotted plants bloomed?
Do you have still the back Bulbs?
Oh my that is a very big one! How old is old is it?
It came as 4 bulbs a decade ago.

I wanted to get rid of the old backbulbs because the AOS judges said they were unsightly. Otherwise, I love just potting up into a bigger pot.

I would have cut the dead roots off the bottom closer to the bulbs they will only rot
In italiano grazie
I ended up using my giant kitchen knife to cut mine lol.
a tip : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Luca Jensen definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
Wear gloves for a job like this.
