A pot plant for the festive season
We have an ancient cymbidium, bought as a small plant from Swain's in the High Street maybe 10 years ago, or was it 15? Anyway, it has been repotted a few times and has now grown into a large plant with many growing points. It is so easy to please. It spends the summer months under a tree in the garden and survives mostly on rain. It comes inside in September and already has flower spikes. It gets a feed when I can remember of anything that's going. But it is now a biennial flowerer, a sure sign that it needs more room so I plan to divide it in maybe 4 and repot in the Spring.
