How can old orchid pseudobulbs be coaxed into producing new shoots?

I, Haoshe Farmer, have said a lot before about coaxing new roots from old orchid pseudobulbs. Coaxing shoots is actually similar in principle to hatching seedlings from dragon eggs: as long as the pseudobulb is fresh enough and full of vitality, shoots can be coaxed out.

For coaxing shoots from old orchid pseudobulbs, there is an online method that uses a sealed plastic bag, then sprays it wet and puts it in the sun. I have not tried this method, nor do I know exactly how feasible it is; I have only noticed one drawback of this method. If you happen to be busy with work or forget about it, the temperature inside the plastic bag left in the sun will get very high, and even if shoots are coaxed out, they will be burned to death.

I have two methods. The first is to pot the plant in growing medium, as shallowly as possible, so that part of the pseudobulb can receive fresh air - ideally exposing 1/4 of it. The sun can stimulate the growth of the old pseudobulb, and routine watering is mainly done by misting, similar to how Haoshe Farmer coaxes dragon-egg seedlings.

The second is to use moss to coax roots. In fact, both methods share one thing in common: letting the old pseudobulb come into contact with fresh air and sunlight as much as possible. Only then is it possible to coax out new shoots and new roots.

The questioner and fellow orchid growers can refer to this for guidance. If you have any other questions, you are welcome to leave a comment in the comments section.
