I am not saying that you have done a bad thing with dividing far from it

but could you please tell us why you decided to divide the orchid ?

with the size of the plant and with all the roots would it been more feasible to just to repot onto a larger pot

I know you have said what is better than one is having 2 but would it have been better to have a specimen plant with more flower spikes and blooms instead of dividing ?

just questions I would like to ask as I have said I am not saying what you did was wrong
