Default Mormodes revolutum

This was another rescue plant. I soaked the bulb over night and it plumbed some. I noticed the roots on the new growth were a clear green. So I decided to pull it out and pot.

There pot is mostly filled with packing peanuts with some fine bark. This is letting the bulb be used for stability, but also dry out. The top is moss do that the new growth can continue to soak up water. Hopefully I'll see new roots in a week or so.

Side note. The soaking water had some kelp extract. Hopefully that'll help with root production.

looks like a good setup, well done.

if the chance presents itself to repot, i would do it in a clear pot with the old bulb against the side just so you could continue to observe its state of wrinkles vs plump etc....very very minor thought. good luck

Thank you. Not a bad idea really. I just don't have any clear pots. We're getting some of Isaias tonight into tomorrow. I'm going to let it get rained on but pull it in before the wind starts

I'm worried that old bulb will start to rot from the bottom. I would have laid the whole thing on its side, so the new growth could put roots into the medium but the old bulb wasn't buried. Just my $0.02

Thanks. We fared OK. My folks live in OIB, NC where it made landfall, but they made it through OK as well thankfully.

I thought about that. I used packing peanuts for a majority of the media. I did it this way though because the roots and the new growth are already growing in this direction and can easily get the roots wet with the moss, but allow the bulb to dry out with the peanuts. There is less than 1/2 in of moss. The rest is the styrofoam and a little bit of small bark and cork.

I’m just here to say that I would buy that for the name alone.

Good luck with it!

Update

This guy seems to have perked up. No new roots yet, but I believe there's a new leaf in the center! Plus the parent bulb had filled out. Hopefully,I can keep it through the winter. I'm thinking this found probably be treated similar to a seedling?
