Not a lot, I am quite limited by space since I do not have a greenhouse. When the mini-cymbidium is not in bloom it stays outside, but once it sends a flower spike usually during Fall, I start to put it indoors. It will not survive the high winds here.

I have Dancing Lady Oncidium, Miltoniopsis, Doritaenopsis, Antelope Dendrobium, Dendrobium noid, Oncidium noid, Grammatophylum Scriptum 'Hihimanu', Brassia Rex, Phalaenopsis and the Mini-Cymbdium noid.

Some of them bloomed a few months during 2 consecutive years, then it seems they are resting right now, so only the mini-cymbidium is active. The Gram Scriptum, almost died, but so far has finally recovered, though I am down to one new pseudobulb, so keeping fingers crossed that it will really thrive Big Grin And this mini-cymbidium also had some older back bulbs with no leaves, and have put them in a separate clay pot, trying to coax them to produce roots or leaves..so far it seems it is coming along, ever so slowly...a little too wrinkled, but those old backbulbs are alive!

I have a lot to learn, and keep my patience in check indeed Big Grin
