Cymbidium no id

[Ryan Young]

I got 2 backbulbs from a culture class session, a member kindly brought in a very large multi-growth plant to our local society, we divided it and handed them out. This is the result a few months later using the fresh horse manure potting method.

Looks lovely.

Can you elaborate on the method? I have heard of something similar with cow manure: place an old, dry cow-pat at the bottom of a pot, plant the plant over it in an inert potting mix (e.g gravel) and let nature do its thing...

Put fresh horse manure in the bottom of a pot, put the cymbidium on top (i added some potting mix on the top) and water thoroughly regularly, and watch it grow!

I remember the gentleman on the ogd who taught the horse pie method for growing cymbidiums
