This is a medium size cattleya
(yeah I know) that has languished in many different media and size pots for a few years now. It would throw a pbulb every year but kept getting smaller and smaller.
Then it stopped pushing buds and has sat like this for two years. The flower on this is so nice I just couldn't bring myself to discard it. So as I am so opt to do when things are just about dead, I am repotting to sphagnum moss. Just to keep it humid around these remaining buds. It should(fingers and toes crossed) push the last of the buds. There is nothing left in the old pbulbs so it will have to be the buds themselves that provide enough energy to sprout. We'll see. Here is what it looks like after being thoroughly cleaned. I hope you can see the little nascent buds I am trying to encourage.
From bark to moss as a last resort.
