bulbopphyllum phalenopsis seedlings

[catasetum-ian]

hi,
i got this bulbophyllum phalenopsis seedlings about two years ago. the longest leaf span is 4 inches. there is 8 bulbs of total in the pot.
with the eight bulb there, now it is growing out 5 new growths. should i trim away the new growth leaving 1-2 growths behind? the reason is i want the bulb to grow bigger in size rather than quantity? or should i divide the plant into 2 -3 diviisions? or should i leave it alone?
almost forgot, one of the new lead bulb that just form attained only 2.5inches in length, i am suspecting nutrients competition among new forming bulbs.
thanks

I would split them into 2 pots. That is what I did to my Bulbophyllum fletcherianum.

Gracias, will try to do that once the new bulb fully developed. WOW, i envious of your fletcherianum. i am a big fan of the macrobulbon series, the bulb macrobulbum, speisii, orthosepalum, hashimotoi and the agastor. never encounter any other than the bulb phalenopsis here....or maybe i am not looking hard enough.

Yes, two pots. You will need lots of patience with this orchid. They get huge before they bloom. Ours has leaves that are 3 feet and every time I think it is spiking, it puts out a new p-bulb.

cheers,
