Two weeks later, here is the successful recovery of repotting an overwatered orchid from moss to bark medium. Note the bud has grown and the leaves are now glossy and perky. Yes! makes me happy.....;)))

  • ok thanks i will just go and buy a suitable orchid mix from my local garden centre and how often should i feed with liquid orchid food in winter/summer ?

  • @youngalistairyou

    Regarding feeding, see my video or How to feed your orchid posted Nov 12 / 2011. You can also get orchid fertiliser at your garden centre. Good luck, hope to see a video response once your plant is thriving. !

  • ive just bought a cheap cymbodium orchid it was ok but not flowering so i bought it .....its in 4 inch standard orchid plastic pot it has lots of roots do you think it needs re-potting yet? the plant is about 2ft high and easily topples over if i do re-pot it what size pot should i use and can i use ordinary wood chips from a bag i bought for the garden and is that all it needs just wood chips?

  • @youngalistairyou

    I suggest you repot to the next bigger size, 6 inch pot. In natural conditions cymbidiums grow on the forest floor ( semi terrestrial ) which has loose leaves, moss and moisture. I dont think wood chips would be suitable. Fir bark and moss mix in a 70:30 mix should be good. Look closely at the medium it is already growing in, and try to make the same. Good luck!

  • i wish i could find a flower dictionary were they had every flowers from a to z and then in each flower group they had each flower species of that group and they had a picture of the flower and info of the flower and you could do so much more with the search of it! either a website of it or a book of it like a flower dictionary or a flower encyclopedia i wish i could find one like that but alas i can not :(
