Cymbidium Repotting Rescue: Wrong Mix, Weak Growth

Repot Now in Fir Bark Mix—New Growth Is the Signal

Using regular potting soil caused waterlogging and root rot. Since new growth is emerging, repot immediately:

  1. Use coarse fir-bark mix; sift fines; soak 1+ hour.
  2. Remove dead roots; keep healthy firm roots.
  3. Pot with good drainage; water/feed heavily during active growth.
  4. Cool temps preferred (below 85°F); increase light gradually.
  5. Division possible now if desired.

Cymbidiums set buds in cool fall for spring bloom.
