Orchid Wound Healing Principles and Treatment Methods
Orchids are monocotyledonous plants and do not have a cambium layer, so the wound will not grow callus tissue like dicotyledonous plants; it can only rely on the dried-out dead cell tissue on the outer side for protection. Therefore, the usual approach is to let it air-dry, or quickly dry the outer layer of cells (cauterization with fire), or artificially add a protective film (apply medication or a sealant).

Regarding relevant division experience, Teacher Guanqi has shared some, roughly recounted here as follows:
First, hold the pseudobulb with your hand and gently shake it, so that the parts where the two growths are close together but not yet joined become loosened.
Then use a toothpick or something similar to poke inward along the loosened area, probing for the node between the two growths. Generally, the node is close to the older growth.
After finding the node, slowly insert the scissors, then slightly open the blades and cut through.
Remember not to open the scissors too wide; cut with the tip of the scissors, rather than using the scissors like a guillotine.
Of course, before cutting, there is also a step of sorting out the roots, which means moving the roots belonging to each growth to its respective side first; everyone understands this.
