Dividing/repotting plants in S/H

[Orchid313]

It doesn't hurt to remove leafless back bulbs, and I put the oldest bulb right up against the pot wall, leaving as much space as possible for new growths. If you wet the roots thay will be more pliable and you can more easily compact them. Do not use an old knife to remove the bulbs. Use a sterilized tool or a fresh razor blade, then throw it out. You don't want to transfer virus.
