Take off bad bulb?

[RosieC]

I would agree,

While bulbs die off in nature and aren't removed, whole plants also die in nature if they get a disease or start to rot. If you care about loosing the plant then removing the bulb is the best thing

Was the brown pbulb soft and mushy or was it just drying up? I reread your original post and you didn't say it was soft and mushy, you just called it a yuck bulb. If it was mushy and soft, I think it needed to be removed. If the pbulb was just drying up, then I would have left it until the plant grew a couple new growths.

It was mushy. Well it's off now nothing more I can do but wait. Orchids are tough I think it will pull through but it will take time.

If it was mushy you did the right thing to remove it
