Cattleya Stem Bruising

Ok thanks- I'll keep the growth intact for now. It doesn't seem like there's any spread of the patch so far, but I think there is some level of cell collapse, likely due to the aforementioned damage. I don't think the upper portions of the new growth will make it.

I'm also thinking of instead potting it up in a cup with some spaghnum or with some leca rather than my typical bark mix, mainly due to the total lack of roots- I think it would need more continuous humidity rather than the typical wet-dry cycle.
