These growing points swell into pseudobulbs and where flower formation begins. |
For orchids, this includes the abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces, stems, pseudobulbs, inflorescences, under sheaths, and possibly the roots. |
Repot the entire plant into a larger container, or divide plants into groups of three to five pseudobulbs. |
Sympodial in nature, which means the plant has connected stems which cease growth after flowering, the dendrobium has pseudobulbs at the base. |
The plants branch sympodially, producing large, flattened, bifoliate pseudobulbs and lateral, solitary flowers on long pedicels, numbering one to six per pseudobulb. |
In warm and constantly humid climates, many terrestrial orchids do not need pseudobulbs. |
