I see no problem with that but with this aggravating plant, I'd wait for it to bloom and give it no excuse not to do so. After that do what ever.

Arthur calls it Dend aggrevatum.

Hi
Odd that it's growing this time of year. For me they grow april through oct. The trick is a VERY dry cooler rest period oct through april During growth they appreciate LOTS of water and ferts . They are very touchy about water on the short bulbs so would go with plain cork.
Think I'd hold off until spring so you can start the necessary cycle. They are frustrating either covered with flowers of a washout lol. Fairly easy to grow IME. gary

I agree with Gary, this is the beginning of their hard dry season. I would wait until spring to mount it.

But I have active root growth AND it has sent up a new p-bulb????

And Gary all the mounts I have that are empty are cork so I'm ok there.

This plant has been without any growing media for a couple years now the only thing in the pot are the roots and the pot is cracked on one side. And it is super- duper pot bound...

Growing under lights in the basement w/ heating pads. The heating pads are most likely the reason for root growth, I also have some new roots on my catts,FYI.gb

Well, if it's any comfort my "aggravating dend" has also started to produce a new "something?". It's probably a new pb since this plant has never bloomed, but right now it doesn't quite look like a new pb. I can't believe it's a bloom spike, but who knows. I can't see any new root growth however.

I swear one more year with no blooms and compost material it becomes. Well, maybe 2 years or 3 or 4 at the most. But not more than 5 years for sure!

Hi
You're probably right about the heat and lights. Have no experience with that method . Since you can provide adequet light and heat you might as well encourage it.
Would bet dollars to donuts you'll get heavy growth but no flowers. I got either weak or no flowers when I kept mine in the shadehouse over winter When I started following the 7 month drought I got some spectacular displays Not sure if the "cool" is necessary but that's what my conditions are down to and icluding the mid thirties.!! No frost though . Good luck and keep us informed with what happens??? I lost mine last year during a 27 degree night and a broken heat system!!!

Well I don't know how I did it the first time but I have gotten this thing to bloom before, but it's been awhile back.
It's been growing without any potting stuff for so long, I guess I just figure what will it hurt to mount it. So should I strap it down with panty hose or string or fishing line or....I just don't know??? Never done this before... oh, the uncertainty!?!gb

Hi
Just happened to read a similar post on another forum
They suggested for growing under lights using a clay pot with either leca or crushed lava rock as a media. Allows for better control of light and water?? good luck gary
