Potting Bulb. cummingii
About a month ago I got a three bulb division of a Bulb. cummingii as a door prize at my OS meeting. It had recently been divided from a well established plant and the bulbs are in a net pot lightly packed with sphagnum.
There are now many small nubs or roots starting from the plants and I'm thinking about moving it into something a little more permanent.
I have a couple of bulbos on bark/slabs with some moss, but they are smaller ones. I also have a very large establish echinolabium in a vanda basket with just a bit of moss and bark -- the basket is mostly filled with roots.
But in all those cases the plant was already established and growing. I'm not quite sure what I should do with this new one to get it going and give it a happy "forever" home.
I've recently moved a few of my other plants -- masdevallia and angreacums -- into semi-hydro. I'm thinking that might be good for this. Cummingii doesn't look like too much of a scrambler.
Anybody have a suggestion or grown this species?
