Coelogyne barbata Lindl. ex Griff.

[estación seca]

I wouldn't. Coelogynes tend to drop old pseudobulbs and they go soft. You can gently tug; it might come off. If it doesn't, don't tug too hard.

You were right about Coelogynes' "going soft" tendency. They are so strange!
Orchids are cool.

Don't cut. I think that both of the browning p-bulbs are just reacting to having been divided. Roots look good, pot it back up. And leave off the sphag

Are you giving yours a lot of light or more shade? I read from a source "Coelogyne barbata loves bright sunlight and is able to tolerate direct sunlight (50000-70000 lux),", yet, on Andy's page he said it needs "Shade to Bright; 1500-2500 Footcandles (indirect light,pronounced shadowing)". Very confusing.
