Question
I have a cymbidium that has lost its leave after I wasn't careful watering, and water got into the leave crevices (I'm particularly careful with phals, but never had this problem with cyms before). I live in San Diego, and monitor both temp and humidity, and both stay within the ok range for cyms (I add humidity when necessary.  Other cyms in the same conditions are doing fine). The bulbs aren't mushy, and the roots look good (due to work increase and recent illness, I haven't been as attentive lately as I should have been -- this cym is also desperately in need of re-potting -- the roots are growing over the sides of the pot -- I pulled it out of the pot and the roots appear plump and healthy).  Is there anything I can do the help this poor plant?

Answer
Jennifer, I think your plant will do fine.  As long as your pseudobulbs are plump and healthy, they likely have eyes at their base from which next spring's growth will come.  For new, the plant is at rest (except for the root growth) and you should cut way back on watering so you don't rot the eyes responsible for next year's growth.  Once new shoot growth starts, you can repot the plant and resume watering and feeding. Keep the plant cool (45-55 degrees) until new growth appears. Future flowering can also benefit from bright sun light.  So, for now, bright light, cool temperatures, and only enough water to prevent the pseudobulbs from shrinking.
