Once it does, there's not really a mechanism to put those resources back. Not necessary for the future growth of the plant, so it doesn't revisit the past (or the past condition of the pseudobulbs)

Thank you. I understand more of the mechanisms now. Hope that the new growth will thrive. Appreciate your explanation... Have a great day!

Thank you. I improved the aeration and left it as it was. Hope that the old pseudobulbs will keep on supporting the new growth. Appreciate your help... Have a great day!
