YES! Cattleya resurrection! Now how to repot?
Default YES! Cattleya resurrection! Now how to repot?

I have been nursing a rootless Potinera Heather's Gold 'Motherload' for the past 10 months, treating with Kelpmax, heat mat, humidity tent... and it has FINALLY put out new roots! OMG I thought it would never happen. Celebrate with me!

(The loss of roots was totally my fault -- I repotted into S/H at the wrong time, and all of the existing roots rotted.)

It also has a new growth that is, of course, growing orthogonally to the previous pseudobulbs. How would you suggest I orient this into its new S/H home? The existing leaves are quite large and heavy, so I was hoping to use a deeper glass container to help support them, but then the new shoot would be inside the container and pointing directly into the glass. Will it right itself? Or should I plant it at the top of the container?

Good job!

Just pot it up ASAP with the rest of the plant vertically oriented. The new shoot will figure it out.

What he said. If the new shoot doesn't change direction by the time it reaches the glass, it will turn when it does. But I suspect it will follow the light and be just fine.
