HI GENE
\CATASETUMS DO THAT, AND THAT'S THE WAY I PART THEM IN SOUTHAMERICA.
BUT IN GREENHOUSES CONDITIONS, I'M NOT SURE I WILL WANT TO MAKE THEM SINGLE
BULB.
MAYBE IF THE PLANT HAVE 3 BULBS, TAKE THE OLDEST ONE AND POT IT SEPARATELLY,
THAT WAY U DON'T LOOSE THE CLONE.

While surfing and looking for some info about care of these orchids I found
this on the Carter and Holmes website:

Use 6" clay pots. Break into a large drainage hole and fill up to 1/2 with
potsherds or river gravel; take a single bulb (If plant has more than one
bulb, make several plants of it, for it will break leads only on the newest
bulb even if left together.) with the dead roots still on the plant, hold it
in the center of the pot and pack the medium around it, not too tightly.

I only have a few of these in my collection and they have only grown a
single lead each year. I just thought they were not big enough to grow into
multiple growth plants.

I'd like to hear the opinion of the RGO members here. Do you divide your
Cycnoches and Catestums into individual backbulbs regularly?

I don't have any reason to question this but was just wondering.

Good Growing,
Gene
