Rehydrate pseudobulbs
Some of the conidium's I have rescued the pseudobulbs are shriveled. Even
though they are showing growth the bulbs don't seem to be changing. Will they eventfully regain their form or are they done for? |
Rehydrate pseudobulbs
Do you perhaps mean Oncidiums?
In general, a badly shrivelled pb will never "plump up completely." The newer ones should fill out at least a little, the oldest ones probably not at all. It's nevertheless best to leave all of them on unless they are diseased or completely desiccated; the new growth uses whatever stored energy may be left in them. After you have 2-4 nice-looking new pbs, then it would be safer to do "cosmetic" removal of the older shrivelled pbs. Kenni "Mark_OK" wrote in message ...
