| Dividing a small Cattleya
I have a small Cattleya that I would like to divide to give it a better chance at growing. The division I would like to take is growing from the top of the main plant and has many hard to water roots. The roots are about 2 inches long and most are nice and green. Its really hard to water these roots without getting water into the crowns of the lower growth. I use several q-tips to remove any water that does get in there. I have thought about tying some spag around the roots to provide the moisture but it dries out so fast. This division would have 4 pbulbs and planted into a small 2" or 3" pot.
Can I divide this or should I leave it as it is?
