Reshaping unruly Cattleya Orchid + Update on the Mule Ear Oncidium

Today we work with a pretty unruly Cattleya Orchid which will grow outside of its pot soon and that will mean the new roots will not get enough hydration!
🦋 More info below! 🦋

Orchids which grow outside of the pot will not be good news for home growers who depend on the pot and medium offering moisture for a longer time. More about outgrown orchids https://youtu.be/fzDAwLGBdQ4

We also did something similar a while back on a Trichocentrum, watch it here https://youtu.be/0-2AQ2774QQ

Divisions will follow the typical division rules for any orchid, more about how to propagate orchids through divisions here https://youtu.be/cRLR1VyHSQI

I think the end result looks pretty compact and aesthetically appealing too 😀
