Unintended division....

[Alana]

Well, I was moving the previously mentioned unpotted cattleya so my kitty wouldn't try to play with it and the thing broke in the middle....So, uh, now I have 2 catts... and wanted to know if you guys thought they would be ok if I just repotted them.....

There are plenty of leads on either end and it broke right in the middle, next to an old dried p-bulb.

Looks like you have 2 catts now. Both have plenty of p-bulb and leaf. They should be fine to pot up.

[Cjcorner]

It's really up to you...but it's usually smarter to pot them up separately. That way if bugs or disease hits one, the other will be saved.

[pavel]

I would repot separately. One other benefit than what Connie mentioned, is that if there is something different you'd like to try -- either media-wise or culture-wise -- you can experiment w/ one plant while using your normal regime for the other. Good way to see if another media/culture might work better for you.

Yes, repot in individual pots. They both should be just fine under you care. Don't forget to make two tags.

Cheers,

I have a Laelia anceps that broke in a similar way - 3 way.

One bigger division of 7 PB and 2 small ones of 3.
trying the smallest one in water culture.

You could as someone said 2 different media and see what works best.
also you could trade one for soemthing else eventually

I think you have 3 Catts. Watch the one that walks .....

[Alana]

lol, no kidding!

Well, it seems the catts are vigorously growing what appears will be new p-bulbs. No new roots seem to be forthcoming, but it's early days yet Going to try to mix in a tiny bit of superthrive with their next watering. Then I am just gonna leave them alone and let them do their thing. Oh, ended up potting them both in clay orchid pots. I have some baskets that were ready and waiting, but I am inexperienced with growing in baskets, so I went with what I know.
