psychopsis culture help

[MrsSky]

hello!
I need some advice for my psychopsis Kalihi alba Green Valley. my plant is doing very well and has bloomed once and now has 2 buds. My question is should I clean up the sheaths around the small bulbs or leave them? I would like more spikes and just want to make sure that I'm not doing too much-some plants just like to be ignored.

Also, I recently purchased a small peloric psychopsis on ebay. I have seen pics of an alba peloric psychopsis but I have not seen any for sale. Any leads for this orchid?
Thanks!

If you are referring to the 'bract' foliage (the leaves that 'hug' the pbulbs - if they are dead, dry, crispy and pull off easily, you can do that if you want to.

I remove dried/dead parts, but I do it really careful, so I dont damage any healthy tissue. I pull it gently of if its ready to come of, and use a tiny scissor if not.
(You dont need to remove, but bugs and stuff can hide in those)

Like WhiteRabbit says- dead things are okay to remove.
Just be careful. (I started to use scissors after pulling more than sheaths of a plant… yeah, that sucks)
