Bulb -> shoots -> plants -> bulbs
My guess is that the bulbs will have shoots and then dry up; the shoots,
if properly maintained, will have roots; the shoots, if properly maintained, will have flowers; the shoots will eventually turned into bulbs; and the cycle repeats itself. My guess is the roots will die when the bulb dries up. I have my fair share of killing the orchids by drowning them. Now I am worrying that I may kill them by dehydration. I have a bunch of oncidiums and zygos that are now just bulbs. I took them out of the pots since they were just rotting. My understanding of orchids is very limited. Q1: If I just leave them out of the pots and water them daily, will they survive? They won’t drown for sure out of the pots. Q2: I notice most bulbs have shoots coming out. I suppose they don’t need water at this stage? Q3: Once the shoots grow bigger, the roots will start to come out. Do I start to water them then? Q4: Is it fair to say that roots won’t die unless something is wrong or until the bulbs are drying up from old age? Q5: If I just leave the plants without pots, will it be too much if I water them every day? I have a fan running all day and a cool mister running during the day keeping the humidity above 50%. I don’t have a green house. All I have is a southwest-facing window. |
