| Hi Tom,
If there is a concern of root rot, I would repot into a larger pot that would accommodate
2-3 years of new growth. Pry out as much of the old media as you can and trim off any
dead roots. Position the plant with the oldest pseudobulbs to the edge of the new pot.
Spread out the roots and fill in with new media, firmly but gently pressing down as you
go along. You want to build up the media until the rhizome rests just on the surface
approximately 1/2 inch below the rim of the pot. Keep the roots relatively dry, give
it good humidity and keep the light more on the lower side for awhile until the roots
have time to get established. |
