Hi,
I have a really big brassia that is growing over the edge of the pot,
but I don't want to go up another pot size because it's already huge,
& it has got hard to tell whether it needs watering, because I can't
tell if it's still wet in the middle. The older bulbs have lost their
leaves, so I wondered if I can cut them off, & move the plant back in
the pot to give the new shoots room. I don't want to wreck it. Is it
safe to just hack off the old leafless bulbs? Where exactly should I
cut? Where the newer bulb comes out? Will the old bulbs get new
growth or are they "done"? I know about sterilizing the knife or
scissors, & dusting with cinnamon... just wondering if anyone had any
good advice on how to do this as I have never had to divide one
before.
Thanks!

Alison
