Question will a cycnoches ever grow from a pseudobulb segment?

I got a cycnoches orchid from the trash several months ago (don't ask). It seemed to have some sort of bacterial or fungal infection so i started cutting off the affected parts. unfortunately, one of the affected parts was near the roots and another was near the tip. I had read in "orchids for dummies" that dendrobium orchids can be propagated by placing segments of the pseudobulbs on potting media, and I was hoping that something similar could occur with cycnoches orchids. I have already cut my cycnoches into a segment and it is long enough to include 2 nodes. it is sitting on top of dry sphangnum moss underneath a sheet of plastic wrap in a west window. is there hope for my orchid? (please say yes because I love this plant!)
