| Thanks for the input! I really like the idea of a large Catt. with lots of blooms! I'll go with just repotting it. I was hoping I could just leave it together, like Kmarch said "I want a big plant with lots of flowers"! Also thank you for the idea of soaking it first. My books do not suggest that and it sounds like a very good idea when I read it.
As for the condition of the bark...it seems to be mostly deteriorated. I would say between 60% and 75%. I have just always been told and have read that you should not repot a Cattlleya until it has finished blooming. Is this good advice?
Sorry Exasperatus my wife would kill me if I traded it! She fell in love with it when she saw the flowers, plus she's the one who gave me the twenty extra dollars to buy it after I spent the rest of my money on other Orchids. |
