Paph. St.Swithin divided.

That wasn't my choice of course, I like large plants with many fans. All I wanted to do - repot and check the roots.
Well, during unpotting the 4 rhizomes fell into two parts:




At the same time roots were still tangled together.
After long attempts to untangle them without much breaking - here is what I got:



Two plants newly potted:



The larger plant has old previously bloomed fan and new growth that I was hoping would bloom soon. Now of course plant got a huge setback and probably won't bloom for a long while. Smaller plant got two small growth, one of which lost many bottom leaves to some type of brown rot.
I returned larger plant to a windowsill and placed smaller one into tank.
We'll see how it goes...
