Default Zygo-update

So I divided the one that broke the pot a couple of weeks ago. Divided it in half where you can see it sort of divides itself, and it did take quite some strength and cutting!!! There was alomost no material left in that pot but roots....

The plants are still looking strong, allthough they have suffered a bit under the bright light they're now getting in the new "palm house"

Oh-well, the new growth will be more used to it.

Anyways, it is still looking strong so maybe I'll give it a go on the first one that is so dense... just need to shapen the knives first...

How long do you think it will take before it has "settled" and the new growth will continue to develop? It did get its roots cut pretty well...

I divided a Cymbidium at the same time, and the new growth on that one is also stopped completely. Meanwhile its friends that had the same new shoots are well ahead.

Oh, and yes, they were planted high in the new material, the roots were just still to massive to be able to get it much deeper into the new pots! Allthough root rot is probably the least likely problem my plants will ever have as I struggle to be able to water them all frequently enough... there's too many plants for that !
