Need advice on whether or not to move plant to s/h
So I have a little dilemma and I wanted to get your guys take on it before I decided one way or another. I put some orchids in s/h about a month ago and am quite pleased with the results so far. I was planning on moving one of my other plants over as it is currently producing a new flush of roots and as such is well timed for such a move as the new roots will grow into the medium and adapt quickly to the s/h conditions. The only problem is, I was examining the plant more closely this morning and it also producing a bud. The bud is very small, has not even uncurled from the leaf yet, let alone started to rise from the plant. I would estimate that I am a good 2-3 months away from an actual flower, but still, it is on its way. It's just my luck that the plant decides to produce new roots AND a flower at the same time. So, should I move the plant to s/h even if it is in bud? or would this put too much stress on the young bud? or would putting it into s/h facilitate the production of the flower? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If in a similar situation, what would you do? I was gung-ho about the move yesterday, but now I am kinda scared and sort of inclined to just leave it alone.
Being new to s/h, I don't know enough about "the move" to make an informed/confident decision here, please help.
