Breeding Cymbidiums
Breeding cymbidiums is a time consuming process and the selection of appropriate parent plants is essential if useful hybrids are to be developed.  The variations in off-spring is enormous even from the same pod so intensive selection is required.

The method for artificially pollinating cymbidiums is described well by Arthur Sale on the following link: http://www.ahjs.biz/Cymbidium.html

Registered cymbidium crosses are recorded on the Wildcatt database which includes details of the parent plants of each registered cross. These can be used a guide for future breeding. Refer www.wildcattdata.com/ similar information is available on http://www.orchidwiz.com
