Getting my favorite Zygopetalum to grow again.

I give it 24 hours in the new pot before I water so it has a chance to absorb as much of the hormone as it can take.
The Kelpmax does a good job too but I use that as more of a monthly fertilizer to promote overall healthy root growth. What we're talking about here is open heart surgery. I've never tried Kelpmax for that but Ray could probably tell us.

Thank you. I am going to buy the dip and grow too then and use it in conjunction with the kelpmax. The problem isn’t so much a lack of roots but a lack of bulbs and no active leads.

Is there a way to use the dip and grow without repotting? I just repot it a few days ago and I would hate to have to put it through that again since I heard zygo roots are sensitive to repotting. I wouldn’t want to lose any still alive roots. If it’s better to unpot it again though, I can do that.
