Sheila, time to pot up your Rebecca Northern and feed/water. It will take Cattleya light, but go easy on it and let it adjust gradually. Do not put it in direct Texas sun at noon although it can take early morning sun.

The surviving bulb can sometimes be induced to sprout from the dormant eyes which run up and down the bulb on two sides. I usually lay it on its side in a potting mix, occasionally wetting the mix down, and keeping it in a humid spot. Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't sprout. Either way, it will be a couple years before the it will be at a mature size to bloom.

Good luck.

Thx Carol. I went to SVO's website and found good info on dealing with the newly rooted plant. I'll follow your advice on the other bulb. Had I realized the bottom section of it was soft, I'd not have even brought it home.

Sheila :)
