Lady's Slipper (Paphiopedilum) Division: Rootless Piece in Water—Iffy Odds

Water Rootling = Low Success

Rootless piece in water: "iffy" because no need to grow roots (water abundant). May or may not root.

Current Strategy

  • Keep in water while healthy.
  • If leaves wilt → pot immediately in damp bark mix + humidity bag.

Better Approach for Next Time

Divide only when each piece has 3+ growths AND roots. Dust cuts with cinnamon. Pot in fresh mix. High humidity until established.

Hope It Roots!

But have a backup plan. Write if it declines—I'll guide the emergency pot-up.
