I just joined this forum and only wish I had known about it before! I am an orchid addict!
I live in the Caribbean and have grown orchids as a hobby for many years.
I recently repotted some very pot-bound spathoglottis plants and noted that one of my oldest plants looked dried out and withered in the center. Lo and behold, when I unpotted it, there was a treasure chest of fat, round bulbs coiled in the center which were all connected from end to end. These bulbs have withered dried out roots and I guess this is the dormant stage of spathoglottis.
What I want to know is: Shall I just start them in the same moist medium as the actively growing plants or shall I start them in a more controlled environment ( sponge rock, spaghnum) wait until I see roots starting and then plant them?
Many thanks, Jana
