When I cut apart my oncids or catts, I wait a day to let the plant heal itself and even then I put cinnamon powder on the wound. I use a clean new razor to make the cut. Once in the pot with media I wait a day before watering. Anything to let the plant heal. Go back to the thread about fusarium wilt posted yesterday I think. There's a nice video that may help you over come your nervousness and shows you how easy it is.
