Reviving a Neglected Rootbound Cymbidium Orchid: Repotting and Care Tips

[@judysocal8682]

This came at the perfect time, my cymbidium needs repotting. Thank you for the informative demonstrations.

[@GreenThumbNurseries]

So great to hear, thanks for watching Judy! Appreciate you taking the time to comment as well.

[@kathymoine3380]

Yes thank you for your comment!! I am excited to share Jerry’s knowledge and experience. Thanks for watching.

[@jillspady6450]

I adopted a ton from an estate sale and want to get them healthy and spectacular again. Yay Green Thumb!

[@afprepstud21]

FINALLY... a GREAT video with LOTS of information on Cymbidium's that goes beyond "give them plenty of light and sing to them once a week" BS that others think is "advice"... I always wondered why some of my cyms have bent leaves and never found out why until watching this video. Wish there were more advanced videos on how to care for these STUNNING orchids for those who live in colder climate regions of the United States.

Thank you Jerry for sharing your knowledge about orchid. I like them but and guilty at the caring part! I need to do this soon.

[@eugenia_b73]

Thank you! Very helpful and informative.

[@shirleynewsom]

This was just the direction I have needed.

[@helenebouillandrachko1226]

Fabulous Instructions!

[@heatherjoyes4394]

Jerry was very very helpful. Thankyou

[@cherylpenn4509]

I've been gifted some monster plants, I really wish I had your strength...... I must repot. Thanks for this.

i want an orchid and i'm also very excited about my citrus fruiting soon ! i love limes, lemons and tangerines

[@GreenThumbNurseries]

Citrus sounds delicious, I'm excited for you!

[@frostylonewolf1700]

@@GreenThumbNurseries also the citrus tree i got it was in container that was thin and tall and was taller then the 5 gallon pot so i had to put it in a clay pot even then roots is near the bottom

[@kathymoine3380]

Thank you for watching. I hope this inspires you to try an orchid. The Phalaenopsis orchid might be a good place to start, and we have lots to choose from right now. Thanks for watching.

@@kathymoine3380 great news my other lemon tree came in alive today when it was delivered !

[@jillspady6450]

I have many C orchids under a tree to provide some shelter and somet shade from our 114°summers. There are alot of leaves in the pot. I thought they might act as a mulch to help keep in some moisture... should i leave those in for winter? Take them out? Never have them? And fred them how often through winter?

[@praisetheLord2377]

If the bulb is yellow, does ot mean it's dead?

[@terirahoeteahipene9080]

Thank you for sharing

[@pmh9940]

I have been much more neglectful and my orchids are very overgrown and in clay pots which I will likely have to break to get them out of. Any suggestions? Also curious why you are re-potting into clay pots (well it looks like clay) as wouldn't you have the same issue? thanks for any info!

[@darrenfisherman3838]

Can’t cut them leaves right at the bottom?

[@jenniferdockey7989]

I cut the leaves on mine 😱 will they be ok?

[@cherylpenn4509]

There is hope for mine then with few roots left. Omg, I got a fright. they are monsters

[@peeyushsharma1585]

[@samm35393]

[@stuallenah1]

Does Green Thumb sell cymbidian orchids now?

[@blackrifle6736]

Clue-up, wise-up and call store nearest you. You think GT has time to reply to YT inqueries? Nah.

[@kathymoine3380]

Hello it is a little past the cymbidium orchid season. We carry them when they are in bloom. Try us back in the Spring. Thanks for your comment. We do have Phalaenopsis in stock and usually carry them year-round so you could at least get an orchid fix if you so desire. Happy Holidays!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@GreenThumbNurseries]

Yes, Kathy is correct. Best to try us back in Spring for Cymbidium orchids - video is aimed for maintenance for those who already have them at home, but Phalaenopsis orchids are a great solution if you'd like to get into orchids now in the meantime.

[@GreenThumbNurseries]

@@blackrifle6736 We do answer YT inquiries when we can, yes :) For the most immediate response time, though, it is true that contacting us via phone or via our contact us form on our website will be the fastest ways to get inventory-related questions answered.

A close up while these are being cleaned up would be more helpful.
