Thanks Robert

I soaked the plant in mild fertilizer water for a few hours and when I looked at it, I could see that there were at least 3 major growing areas joined by old dead pseudobulbs. So I broke it out...

Well the pictures you see at the top of the post from last year was the first flowering. I've been told that this one needs a lot of sun and a lot of fertilizing. I keep it on the patio from...
