Pinching New Cattleya Growth
Does anyone out there pinch new cattleya growths to force a more compact growth habit?
Pruning is a technique I've obviously utilized with most other plants, but I never see this advice given for cattleya or orchids in general.
I have a cattleya walkeriana that walked quickly across it's pot. Two months ago I was trying to bend the new growth back so it rooted into the pot and "snap!". I looked closely at the plant today and it is putting out 4 new growths all back throughout the pot. Is this the expected reaction to pruning from cattleya? Is there a risk in doing this?
