It seems that my taste for Orchids is developing more and more in the direction of the Japanese. I started of with Paphs, after that I picked up some Neo's and a Dendrobium moniliforme as well.
Now the latest plants to join my collection are a couple of Cymbidium goeringii's
First I'll show the plants that are doing well under the circumstances I provide them.
Cymbidium goeringii 'Guan Yao Mei'
Cymbidium goeringii 'Da Fu Gui'
Cymbidium goeringii 'Red'
I bought 'Guan Yao Mei' as a single 12-20 pseudobulb plant but the seller shipped 2 divisions that contained somewhere between 8-12 pseudobulbs each so I didn't mind.
However the 2nd piece doesn't seem to fare quite well.
I potted it in a mixture of bark, perlite and charcoal. It's potted in a narrow high pot with extra drainage holes in the side. It's kept on the windowsill of a heated room in the house. Night temperature 12-15 degrees celcius and during the daytime 16 - 20 degrees celcius. Humidity is probably low due to the central heating. I have no measurement though.
The plant seems to be loosing it's leaves, they keep drying up and so far it keeps doing so.
