Cattleya Overgrowth Option
Hello,
A couple of months ago, I learned about some great presentations on the Odom's Orchids YouTube page. Keith Davis had some interesting observations and tips about cattleyas in his three videos. He discussed dealing with an overgrown cattleya by attaching a smaller pot filled with media to the side of the larger pot which contains the plant. I am considering dividing my plant next year, but I think his technique gives the emerging growth the best shot of thriving if repotting is not an option. If it is not clear, the smaller attached pot provides a home for the emerging roots of the overhanging new growth. Of course, another option would be to drop the pot into a larger pot and fill in the gap with media.
I have also attached a photo from earlier in the year. Enjoy!
