Cym question???

[brookn]

Okay, this is going in the newbie section, cause I am a newbie to Cyms. So my dog knocked over my Cym. eburneum about a week or so ago (because he was smelling the bloom on my Dend kingianum). Since I was planning on doing a repot of about 4 plants from my Oak Hill purchases for my b-day, I just packed some bark back in around it and left it. So here is the deal, when I depotted, the first words out of my mouth were "Oh bloody hell".

I know that I should be excited that what I thought were 2 growths were actually 2 separate plants that just came apart when I rinsed the roots, but I am at a loss as to what I should do now. I had the great pot that I found that was small but tall like a Cym pot, but putting one in it will be overpotting it. It was just right for the 2 growths, too big for one.

Anyone have some advice for me? I know that I am worrying over a small detail, but I just want to do it right. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I love those hidden 2 for 1 deals, don't you? Well, I would have to say if the shoe don't fit,,,don't wear it. I'd suggest getting 2 correct fitting pots.

The plant only has two growths? It sounds like each should be potted separate.

Yeah, I figured as much. After I got the roots all cleaned up, and took a second look, one will fit the tall pot. I really misjudged the roots just eyeballing them, they are pretty fat lol. So one fits it pretty well, and now I am digging through all of the pots to find the right one for the other one. So far I have small ones, that are too small, fat ones that are too short... well you know the drill. I honestly did not realize just how many pots that I actually had, I guess it is deceptive when you have them all nested together. I have made myself a big fat mess looking for one .

I do love a twofer, but I am not so big on last minute surprises, I like to be prepared-sigh.

Eva it is two plants that I thought was one two-growth plant.

In this instance, I think I would pot them up seperately.
