| partially dead pseudobulb
The oldest (and biggest) of our orchid's pseudobulbs had serious damage after an ant infestation and subsequent repotting. the upper half of the pseudobulb apparently died; it's brown and totally shriveled. But the lower half looks normal. It has been like this for a couple months at least. The rest of the plant looks fine. It's never reflowered, but I think this is because our lighting is not great. Today I cut away most of the top dead part, but there is still some of the brown, shriveled matter and I did not cut into the green area of the pseudobulb. Did I do the right thing?  |

If the juction of dead and living is not changing, you are fine. What kind of orchid is it?
