Hi Bill -
I've had this happen too, especially on Cycnoches. Sometimes the old pseudobulb has dried out at the bottom, sometimes not. And I've had little luck removing these growths from the old cane as well. The best results for me have been to take the old pseudobulb and put it on a flat mount of some kind and let the whole thing grow on that.
At least with these growths, you can see when the roots are well-developed.
These can be a real thorn-in-the-paw!
Cheers - Nancy
