How to deal with "burying" oncidium bulbs?

[ilikeorchids]

Hi guys!!!

So this is my recently purchased oncidium and I had to repot it.



It has many roots and a nice flower spike.but the problem is, this oncidium, like most oncidiums, is in a "climbing" growth like in the wild, they would ascend up to the trees and "climb". For the roots of the highest bulb and it's baby, I had to bury the lowest bulb...ugh.





I have watched youtube videos and they say that you should not bury it because it will rot and I don't want to rot this orchid. What should I do???? Should I leave it buried? I don't really know what I am doing here...but I have thought of a plan:

Can I just divide the lowest pseudo bulb and plant it alone to propagate? But some people say this is not good because the old pseudobulbs (not dead) will nourish new growth until it dies...but how can that be applied to my orchid? Should I just mount it? But I haven't had succes with mounting yet, and I am worried the lowest pseudobulb will rot.please help me! The orchid has been disturbed once by repotting and now, I'm gonna do something again and it will again stess it..ugh...
Hope this orchid will do fine
