Here's an excellent site about propagating from backbulbs.

Orchid backbulbs

I'm trying it myself with a single, small, rootless backbulb from a Miltassia. The bulb came off when I was dividing the plant.

A bulb can really stay alive a good long time if it's not in bright light or dry air. The trick seems to be not to try to make it root, but to wait for it to root... it could be a while. So mine's in a not-too-bright spot, in fine bark that's barely damp, and under a dome to maintain humidity. The dome is a quart-sized clear plastic deli container (had salsa in it).

lol im glad! to know im not the only one to recycle my food bins lol.. ihave 2 cattleya seedlings in a salad bowl.. they each have one small root..(rescue from lows.. why the heck cant they water the starter orchids... sigh) but they were super dry.. i got about 12 that way .. only lost one.. the rest have new growth and roots.. the one im worrying about tho is my blc pennys spot x hawaiian dream..
its a pretty plant but one root the rest are fried. but its still green.. not crinkly so i hold out hope..

Dyna-Gro K-L-N contains both of the hormones that you posted about in the first place, Beelady. It also contains Vitamin B-1 and maybe some other "secret ingredients".
