Can’t believe I forgot to reply to this! Thank you all so much for the great suggestions. I had made a list and kept my eyes open.
- I never knew Ludisia could be propagated by leaf cuttings, that is fascinating. I don’t have one yet
- flasks sound fun but the idea is still a bit scary. I’m thinking I might give it a try if any of my favorites ever come by. The thought of having a huge variety of slightly different flowers sounds very exciting to me
- I haven’t been able to find a Bulbo. mackayanum yet. I love how it looks, so really hoping I come across it some day. Thanks for the kind thought, that is what counts
- Bulbo. maxillare (masdevalliaceum, blumei): recently found a seller that has them, hopefully I’ll be able to get it somewhere this year
- I now have cuttings of 2 different maxillaria growing, and a young dendrobium with 2 keikies. Hopefully they’ll all grow big very soon, haha! The idea of chopping up a full pot is an interesting one and I’ll keep that in mind!
As an added note: I’ve found that some bulbo’s are fairly fast growers. I got a small b. Bolsteri sent to me as 4 bulbs and this growing season has started 2 grow points and one is already almost done. Survived cutting and shipping very well too.
According to Bill Thom’s youtube lecture Bulbophyllum that flower on the rhizome aren't great for divisions, but the ones that flower on bulbs might be less set back by it.
Another note: appearantly restrepia can be propagated by leaf cuttings too, but I don’t have any experience with those yet
