I was about to say the same, Anthony. My 'Gisela' has only 2 shoots this year. Is it safe to lift and replant now? Maybe feed it instead - if so what with?
My plant looks healthy so I won't touch it until it is dormant. I am always of the opinion 'if it ain't broke don't fix it', but with cyps they are best dug up, or tipped out if in a pot, cleaned and replanted in fresh medium every three or four years. This plant has remained untouched for 10 years and I should have acted last year as it wasn't as good as 2007. As for feeding. Every two weeks with quarter strength liquid feed for species; every two weeks with full strength for robust hybrids.

Some growers would pot them up after flowering also. Its seems thay can handel this but one needs to do it while there is rain forecast for a week or so to establish its self. This process of potting up in spring works for cyps as new roots are produced through the warm season where as in Autumn they do not they will just sit there till next spring.

Im in the process of potting mine up but its Autumn here. :)

I was close Maggi. ::)

Here is Cypripedium parviflorum, which has been undisturbed now for 10 years, and Cypripedium 'Emil' that was in a certain black pot until last October. It has over 30 flowers, some stems being twin flowered.

Hans lovely Cyps you have there!

What do you fertilize your Cyps with, they look so healthy and how often?
