Many people want to grow their cymbidium goeringii with either sphagnum moss or various types of stones, to avoid the 'organics'.
So here are pictures of a cymbidium goeringii grown in pure Orchiata classic grade 9-12mm. Nutricote on top, about a teaspoon for a 12cm pot. Leaves about 30-40cm. Temperatures, from about 2 months ago, between 36 and 28 degrees celsius. As everyone can see, the plant is superb...
I just had to repot because the pots were too small 3 months ago when they were potted.
The brownish roots are in fact natural roots. In the wild, goeringii grows in humus and clay. The habitat temperature can be very cold during winter, however, in many places the temperature will be extremely hot during summer. In South Korea where they grow, the temperature can be close to 40 degrees celsius during daytime, and not below 30.
So for those who want to grow goeringii, it is easy to grow in Orchiata definitely...
