Mormodes and shriveling bulb prevention? Male
Default Mormodes and shriveling bulb prevention?

Soooooooo....like all of you, we all notice the Mormodes during the winter along with the rest of the Catasetinae can fall prone to the back bulbs turning yellow and shriveling. I understand this is common - but at the same time, I don't notice this happening in natural environments as often.

I know the standard advice is to divide often to prevent the shriveling. But I've received Mormodes in trades before that had a healthy 4-5 bulbs or so - which promptly lose their backbulbs in my care.

I maintained my Mormodes horichii with 3 bulbs until this winter - and now it looks like its going down to one - the blooming bulb

Any clue what can be done to prevent this?

Is it humidity? Temperature? Lack of water?

I think maybe I'll maintain a Mormodes in S/H over next winter and keep it wet to see if I lose the backbulbs.
