Propagation of Tipularia discolor can be done through division of the pseudobulbs. This is best done during the repotting process in the spring. Ensure each division has at least one healthy pseudobulb and some roots. Plant the divisions in a suitable orchid mix and water sparingly until new growth appears.Poda
