You will get flowers if there are more than three pseudobulbs with roots in each division. This species likes to be mounted. I would separate them and pot/mount them individually.

Thanks for the advice, Richard. I am bummed by the discovery.

It's a bummer, all right. It's shoddy for a grower to sell 4 small plants for the price of one large one, unless you got an exceptional deal.

It all depends on the price paid. I think the statement that the plant does not like to be divided or disturbed is probably true. Mine grew and thrived on a hardwood mount for years and when it started to outgrow that mount i just stuck the lot in a large shallow pot with nil mix and it has continued to thrive.

A rewarding orchid to grow with beautiful flowers and lovely perfume at night.

Greencurls, I had one for several years and repotted it in bark every spring. It grew vigorously, but that could have been an exception. WC8
