Cut through the rhizome, using clean cutters and separate your plant. Depending on a size of your orchid, you may want to make 2-3 or more divisions. To insure continued flowering in shortest time, each division should have at least 4 pseudobulbs.	To keep your tools clean soak them for few minutes in a bleach and water solution
Repotting an orchid Fill bottom of a pot with potting medium and wrap some around roots. Place your plant into pot and add more potting medium packing firmly so no air pockets are left in the medium. The rhizome should be exposed,not covered. You should replace potting material every 2-3 years. Potting materials will spoil, which causes root-rot.	You may also just cut the front division, the newest growth from the plant, without taking the whole plant out of the pot.
