I grabbed a couple of Onc. Heaven Scent ‘Redolence’ on clearance at a local nursery—one is growing in all sorts of different directions and the other is considerably smaller.
For the smaller one, I just dropped the whole thing into a new pot, container and all, and backfilled in with some finer bark—I figured it would just spill over into the new media once the new growth starts putting out roots.
The larger one has me feeling less confident for a few reasons: the main reason is that one of the new growths looks like it’ll get pinched between it’s parent pseudobulb & the lip of the plastic container it came with—I don’t know if I should just remove the plastic container and drop the root mass in and backfill accordingly or whether that would be too traumatic. Also, since it has new growth growing in different directions, should I just place it in the center of the new pot or should I still try to orient the older back bulbs towards the back of the pot?
Smaller one got potted—I oriented the new growth towards the center.
The bigger one—it’s got new growths going forward, side to side, and a new spike, too!
New growth I was worried about getting pinched…
Thanks in advance!
