jenischiana back bulbs
Learning to grow orchids by taking over the care of a collection in very bad shape is like learning to swim by being thrown in the deep end of the pool. I have a 6"basket of stan jenischiana with a large group of leafless,rootless pseudobulbs clustered to one side. It's been in my care 2 years or so now and has been putting on new growth slowly for those two years. I don't know if these back bulbs are still helping the plant. It has about 8 leaves(some old, some just starting). I had a lycaste with one leaf and 4 back bulbs. I cut off the last two back bulbs and set them in the media a couple of inches from the leafed bulb. They sprouted easily, both sections have grown well and now I have a decent looking pot of lycaste. I am tempted to do the same with the stanhopea. Any thoughts? Thanks.
