Hello there - thanks for the vids. I have a Catt Lueddemanniana, which as far as I know, grows in winter. And indeed it is throwing roots out like crazy. It has 5 smallish leaved back-bulbs which are nice and plump, and which I want to remove from the rest of the plant. Fingers crossed! LOL.

[@thenaturecompany]

Sounds like you have things under control .. if the front section is big enough sometimes the shock of the removal of the back section can bring a spectacular show... 🫰

I have some rootless rescue orchids that I was given, so this was perfect timing for me. I think I’ve been keeping the bark too damp so I may back off on watering and focus on humidity. I wondered if using the rooting hormone would be helpful so I was glad to see that you use it. It couldn’t hurt! Since we are heading into the depths of winter here, I wouldn’t be surprised if I see no change until spring - at the least.

[@thenaturecompany]

If there are leaves on the plants I often dont bother with rooting hormone but if you do use it make sure it is the one for easy to root / soft wood cuttings (No.1) anything stronger will stunt the bud growth . I also would not put on any hormone during the dormancy period especially if it gets very cold . Dont want to confuse the growth and force growth which will just die in the cold , using up stored energy .

[@lindaannb]

Thanks! That is very helpful information.

[@niranjaladissanayake1789]

Can i use bee honey instead of hormone rooting powder

[@thenaturecompany]

as far as I understand honey just stops any infection getting into the open wound , I just use the rooting hormone to kick the backbulbs into action

[@lourdesmohammadine4160]

What is the WHITE that you put on the bulbs

[@thenaturecompany]

it is a very weak rooting powder

[@loribadgero1035]

Wow, thank you for this!❤😊🪴

Pleasure .. have a Joyous Christmas and I hope by next year you will have lots of orchids to give away as presents 😍
