Mormodes Revoluta - New Growth: Water or not?

[zaratia]

This pseudobulb of Mormodes Revoluta is giving me the third new growth from the mid of the plant in one year. I am now normally watering the plant, but I am not sure this is right... The first two growth fell off accidentally, and became two single plants (but they seemed to be underdeveloped).


Thanks for your help,

If this were mine...I would hold off a bit longer and let the growth get to be about 4". I also like to see the roots longer and reaching down into the medium before I water.

If the mature growth begins to shrivel too much you can set the pot in a very little bit of water and allow it to absorb it up from the bottom. Not so much that the medium gets soaked...just enough to moisten things a bit. From the bottom only right now because these plants are very susceptible to rot at this stage.

Thanks, I will try!
