A 40-year-old unglazed, fibrous, black plastic-like pot from Rod McClellan's "Acres of Orchids" (formerly on El Camino Real) has outperformed every modern pot for Cymbidium blooming. Tall, wider at top, four small bottom holes, slightly porous—it's deteriorating after decades outdoors March–November.
Note: Hatfield and Casa de las Orquideas may require in-person pickup.
Recent Cymbidiums can produce multiple spikes per pseudobulb, with some blooming from the same bulb over several years—worth diversifying beyond vintage clones.
