| Sounds to me like everybody is thinking along the same lines here. Not such a shallow pot; place the older growths near an edge and allow room for new growth; okay to sink the older growth down into the medium(which helps the plant maintain a vertical orientation); use a bigger pot if need be.
One other possible action is to divide the plant. This plant has several older growths and removing 2-3 of the older pseudobulbs and their roots would not set the plant back very much, would make for an easier fit into the pot (without using a bigger one) and quite possible the division itself would be stimulated into sprouting new growth and you would have a second plant. |
