I have 5 Cattleya growing in a large potted Ficus tree. This part will be the topic of another discussion.
Three have flowered but 2 haven't, yet. All were put in tree about same time--4 years, or so, ago.
ALL are growing very nicely.
Anyway..I've divided other orchids in the past and all of these have been from pots.
All my past divisions have shown new growth on all the "new plants" at the time I re-potted/made more orchids
If I take the "last" 3 or 4 new growth plants and leave the older one...can I expect the old/remaining growth to produce still?
Four of these Catts are only growing in one direction.
Hence my question...about old plants producing new growth.
I want to keep these Catts growing and blooming in the tree but they are getting "that size" and I also love to have a few in pots/baskets.
All help, as always, appreciated.
