Help Brassia growing horizontally
Default Help Brassia growing horizontally

So my question is what can I do with a Brassia that is gowing horizontally rather than vertically? Besides that it's also grown sort of on top of the medium, so that the roots are not in the medium but yeah aerial roots? I know Phalaenpsis grow aerial roots, but is this a good thing with a Brassia?

The Brassia was huge, and was definitely growing out of it's pot, so I divided it and repotted it a couple of months ago. So I've got 3 plants now, from 1. The hardest thing when repotting was that I didn't want to make the divisions with less than 3 pseudobulbs, because I read somewhere that orchids with pseudobulbs needs at least a number of 3 to do well. The problem was that to get 3 some pseudobulbs had sort of grown in different directions, like far apart, and some horizontally and some higher up than the others (with that I mean high above the medium). So now I've still got some above the medium, and the roots are above the medium, but see if I'd forced it downwards when repotting that would have meant that at least one of the bulbs would have had to go underneath the medium and that's not a good idea (I've experienced rotten pseudobulbs in Oncidiums before because of this.)

So what I've done now, to solve the problem with these "aerial roots" is put as much as spaghnum moss around the roots. Is this ok? Or does anyone have another suggestion?

My second concern and the title of this thread is: I've just noticed that one of the "plants" is starting to make a new pseudobulb. It's just a tiny little growth at the moment but it's growing from one of the horizontal psuedobulbs and so it's growing in the direction of into the medium? HELP! What can I do? This can't be good...
