Maybe someone with more knowledge of orchids will have another solution for you.	0 0 Alert moderator

Posts: 21 Location: Bonville Registered: March 2008	RE: Dividing Cymbidium orchid Posted 162 days ago Wait until it finishes flowering and then remove from the pot. and divide and put into pots to fit the size of divisions. You can buy cymbidium mixes from garden centres and department sores Big W etc.Even the old back bulbs can be potted but it takes a few years or more to grow them. Make sure you trim off any old looking roots and don't plant in too big a pot they like to be a bit crowded. Best of luck. _________ crazy gardener addicted since the age of 5 years old still digging it	0 0 Alert moderator
