Maybe your Grammatophyllum needs a little more sunlight. I bet it will bust out in blooms when you resolve the missing link.
Do you know if your division was obtained from the back growth or from a new lead? I have a few chids mounted on sizable pieces of wood. Growth has been almost too good and the plants should be encircling and overtaking them in a season or two. I'm at a bit of a loss at what to do when they do take over and run out of room. The wood itself has not yet decayed and is still strong and supportive, but that will change in time. Don't know if I should risk a division and perplexed by how to divide a mounted specimen. It may be that the plants will become self supportive to a degree...by overlapping and growing on top of their own old growth. I only have one chid mounted to a tree. No canopy plants in my yard so I tried tying it to a big palm. Probably wasn't the best of ideas in hind sight. The recent harsh winter nearly killed it in spite me blanketing her with layers and layers of insulation. The poor thing is still alive but it's future looks grim.
