Twisted Cattleya - what now? Female
Default Twisted Cattleya - what now?

This is Cattleya walkeriana frm. coerulea. The Board helped me save this plant earlier this year. Now I am back for more advice...please.

When I bought the plant this spring it was in a plastic pot and the leaves looked really dessicated. I think I made it worse by overwatering. Then with lots of advice, I stuck it in a clay pot half-full of leca, with the roots just sitting on top of the leca. I watered it every 1-2 days after that. Allowing it to dries out quickly seems to have saved it.

It's put out new roots and growth. The newest p'bulb is growing out of the pot. I'm thinking about how to repot it now. That's where I've run into a problem.

The new p'bulbs, roots and leaves are by far the healthiest part of the plant, but they're turned at a completely different angle from the rest of the plant. I can find no way to get this all into a pot. I'm afraid that if I don't do something now, future new growth will make it harder to deal with.

Here's how it's sitting in its pot now.



Another view:



This is what the roots and plant looks like out of the pots.



Any ideas about how to wrangle this thing into a pot?
Or something? Thanks.
