Catt Training - Orchid Board

BikerDoc5968 · #1 03-24-2009, 04:52 PM

No, not litter box kinda stuff.... I know many have contributed some wonderful suggestions as to how to "train" catts to grow more upright and compact. And it isn't that I haven't read these articles with great interest but this gal seems to have a mind of her own (what else is new)

and in doing so, got away from me!!!!!

She, not only is growing horizontally, but twisted back on herself....talk about not being able to find her way...WELL!

Any ideas as to how I might help her get back on track?

What... sit back and wait til she gets a bit longer and slowly try to re-educate her.... Gentlemen, when have any of us been able to "re-educate" anything!!!!

Well I thought it was funny and probably a true statement

I'd leaver her alone, and let her find the error of her ways on her own. Any meddling right now is only going to make her more determined to annoy you, and you know how good they can be at that!

You really should have re-potted before the eye broke out but not that it has, re-pot anyway to get her away from the edge of the pot. Then sink lower in the pot and as she grows stake it!

Aw what a beautiful yellow with red lip this plant is, one to keep for sure, the roots and growths look fantastic, as for light, it may need more to reach for the sky, it does need to be repotted, I would do it now and try to be careful with new roots, if the medium is good just pot up to a larger size.

I saw if you repot her, she's going to go her own way again. LOL... It looks really healthy and I suppose it'll grow how it wants no matter what you influence you have on her...
