Broughtonia sanguinea "Star Splash"

[Bud]

@WynnDee.... in my experience this easily rot the roots if watered too much...in summer Manhattan is very humid and we breathe water...so I have to resort to measures that work forme...in situ...this is growing in an arid part of the island and it doesnt rot its roots....the old bulbs die by itseld by nature but in a situation like mine it is necessary to cut the roots when repotted, and the first sign are the old established bulbs losing its leaves and imploding.....maybe your situation your environment keeps your roots dry and wont rot easily

* I said cut the roots short....not "cut all the roots off"....like a crew cut on a guy not like the marines that is almost bald headed
