I repotted it as a start, in a light mix of bark and perlite. There was some mold in the old bark, so I left this very airy to avoid that in the future.
Thanks, I'd really appreciate any help, like I said I've never been very good with orchids, and I'd like to learn. |
Aside from what Bactus has already stated.... may I add that only water it
when the media is turning dry.... too avoid overwatering and eventual
root rot. Also keep it in a bright place but out of the suns rays. Also I
would pot it deeper so that those aerial roots are in the media. Good
luck.
