| Violetta von Holm Help
Hello,
I have a quick question regarding this Ondotoglossum. Most research material I can find advise to use fine fir bark as a preferred medium.
Had anybody else used mixed mediums? Right now I am soaking a mix if Small fir bark (medium bark that I cut up), charcoal, perelite.
Am I going to be doing any serious harm by using this as a growing medium? I bought it last September at a local orchid show. It has new growth on it, but the medium that it is in (medium Fir Bark) is taking a long time to dry out. I have had a couple leaves die and one of the pseudobulbs is turning a brown colour. I want to repot it because I am suspecting it might be having some root issues.
This is a Violetta von Holm 'Bianca' (Odm bictoniense x Odm Bic-ross)
Just wondered if anybody had any experience with this orchid, or words of wisdom.
Thanks for the help.
