How to prune medusa orchid

After all flowers on the inflorescence have finished and the stem begins to yellow. Cut spent flower stems at their base near the pseudobulb with sterile scissors. Remove only fully desiccated, leafless pseudobulbs during repotting. Allow healthy rhizomes to ramble freely or train them onto a mount.
