Division Root Damage
I have been re-potting all of our slipper orchids and dividing the ones who need too have the diseased center removed. I did leave the dried up old growing point on a couple other slippers and am watching them too see if they develop problems.
Unhappily I removed the mature and healthy roots leaving two smaller pieces with semi healthy roots.
The broken mature and healthy piece is only left with undeveloped root nodes and three of which are starting too emerge however the one has turned brown at the tip and I am not sure if the old media caused the problem or if I caused the problem with my abuse.
So I put the healthy rootless fan in a small clear plastic pot with small slipper fir bark mix and sphagnum moss (which I am not sure is a good idea)
Also I am wondering if the whole thing needs too be covered with a zip-lock bag so it doesn't fall out of the mix as easily and retain some of the humidly... or is that a bad idea?
