what to do with Divisions Male
Default what to do with Divisions

Hi Guys and Gals,
I just re-potted some large "Cats" and I ended up with several back divisions(with no roots) that have healthy leaves and dormant eyes. My question to you experts is, how do you make them root and grow into a new plant?
Thanks
Danny

Pot them up in the medium you use for the rooted ones, water once a week and the roots will eventually grow. You can add a little moss to the medium if you like but I generally use my regular medium to pot them up and after a few months the roots are growing fine.

Thats the ticket -- do you have a greenhouse? perfect thing.
Or old fish tank with top or simply a tupperware dish will serve the purpose then add some moist sphagnum moss. An orchids best friend for growing roots really is humidity.

I usually throw mine in a bog clay pot that gets watered everyday. No media, just bare root. If you forget a day its alright. I have great success this way.
