Flowering to death?
I have a Brassolaeliocattleya that I just repotted last month. I repotted and divided it (leaving 5 mature psuedobulbs) in August after it finished blooming in July. Now it is blooming again! But I am not sure if I should be happy about it. I think that the plant is going to die since the roots haven't filled the pot ( it is still a little loose), and the psuedobulbs are shrivelled. I think that it is expending all its energy into flowering again (the method for plant reproduction to ensure the plant has seeds for future generation), and that by flowering it will kill it self. Does anyone know whether this plant will survive and flower next year? Has anyone experienced this same occurance?
