Hello everyone. It is midnight here in my neck of the woods. I have to write this before I forget about this in the morning.
Today, I was repotting my dancing ladies orchids. They were so many and I have hung them on a guava tree in my front yard.
A few days ago, I took a photo of my other orchids. I am not sure if it is really a Catleya orchid. I still have to do a research. This orchid was very fragrant and was about to fade when I saw it. That is the photo above.
So how was your hump day? Mine was fine. Anyway, good night and see you later. Thanks for reading.

When the orchids become plenty, you have to divide them into two or more. That way they well grow well being repotted. Thanks @JudyEv. That orchid is actually planted by my late mother a few years ago. It is still alive and have many branches now. I have to divided them too when I find a place for them in my yard.

I must give it a try. Not sure how to go about it.
You must be an expert going by what I see in that photo

Just try @allknowing. You might be successful. No, I am not an expert in gardening. I just do what I feel is right. Thanks. Have a great day.

Thank you @Letranknight2015. It keeps on raining everyday here and so gardening is not fun.

What medium or media did you use? I also repotted last month and I used coconut husk and charcoal

I used coconut husk @louievill. I got the coconut husk fresh from a coconut. Gladfully, a paid man harvested our coconuts yesterday. Oh! I forgot, I still have 2 young coconut fruits to eat. Thanks for reminding me.
