How do i split an orchid, too big for the pot?
Keep some psuedobulbs that have leaves in each half. Also, before you split, make sure there are roots in each half, as some of the oldest pseudobulbs will also lose their roots, and some newest-but-leafy pseudobulbs may not have enough roots yet.



Start soaking up some new bark. Check the roots for fungus. Gently remove all of your old bark, and soak the entire orchid in a 1/2 strength solution of Physan 20 if it has fungus. Sometimes even if you don't have fungus, you will need to soak the plant to get the old bark off the roots without damaging them.



Remove the orchid from the solution, and check that all roots remaining are firm and crisp, not squidgy or dry. Snip off all those that are. Snip away or trim with a miter (point out in the center) any unsightly leaves while you are at this.



Gently but emphatically pack the roots of your new plants around your wet bark in the pot. Stake the new plants, because it will take awhile for them to grab onto the new bark, the new bark may settle, and you won't necessarily have the right distribution of roots to stand upright.



Give the new plants a hit of water with fertilizer and some vitamin b1, and you are done.
Reply:You can change the pot to a bigger pot ( only 2 - 4 inches) or break it apart at the root , split it at the root base then water .
