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 |
For one I did it for the sheer thrill and experience of doing a division. Being that it was the only orchid I had at the time that was viable for the split. Have to cut your teeth somehow.
And for two, having two brassias now gives many benefits, such as if one decides to die, I still have the other one. Also, should I decide to give one away, I still have one left.
In my eyes, two is always better than one. But that is just me.
