An orchid which seems to take over the pot on a horizontal level can also be mounted, provided you are ok with its maintenance. Learn about my final thoughts on mounted orchids here https://youtu.be/1m4BeakvECc

Dividing orchids needs to be done when divisions can have 3 pseudobulbs each, at least. Learn more about it here https://youtu.be/cRLR1VyHSQI
Fusarium is an ailment which is more common than you think with orchids. Here is what I went through https://youtu.be/gPk84GNqwVM and learn more about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusarium_wilt and here https://www.staugorchidsociety.org/culturepests-diseases.htm
