Cymbidium Backbulb Propagation: From Ziplock to Pot

You've got roots and an eye on a backbulb in moss—great start! Now transition carefully to avoid rot.

Next Steps

1. Stay in the bag 1 more month—high humidity is critical.
2. Pot in small container with seedling bark + a little moss (top half moss, bottom half bark).
3. Return to bag—maintain humidity while roots explore mix.
4. When roots exit pot: Repot to larger pot in regular orchid mix, keep moist.
5. Remove from bag only when leaves need space.

Critical Warning

Keep pseudobulb base barely damp, not wet. Rot starts there and kills the project.
