Blc. Plantlets

[JaneEyre]

I just purchased 5 plugs, bare root, of T-4686 Blc. Everything Nice 'Showtime' plantlets and potted them together in one 3.5" pot. Now I am wondering if I did the right thing. Should I have potted them individually and if so, what pot size should I have used? Each plantlet is about 4" tall with varying root sizes.
On a side note, what does T-4686 mean? Any help is appreciated.

the T-4686 is the growers numbers used to keep track of plants, and is of no consequence....and i would have potted them individually in 2-4" pots, they will all clump together in one pot and be difficult to separate later.

Ah that is what I was thinking. I will repot them in separate pots once I get a chance (probably this weekend). Thank you for the advice.

While you are at the repotting you can put the correct name on them, it's Rby. ( Rhynchobrassoleya ) Everything Nice. This is a cross of Rhyncholaeliocattleya Memoria Helen Brown x Brassavola perrinii.

Just by coincidence I repotted my compot of T-4686 Blc. Everything Nice 'Showtime' yesterday. I planted mine individually (a few were doubled up because they were small) in 2-inch clay pots with New Zealand Sphagnum moss. The compot is from Carmela Orchids. The T-4686 is their identifier number for their mericlones. I prefer the old nomenclature so Brassolaeliocattleya (Blc.) is good for me. For plugs, I still use 2-inch clay pots to start.
