It's funny, cause it looked like the leaf has actually grown, but I know it's going to drop. The others look okay for now, nice and shiny, light green. I am still deciding on the medium. I was actually thinking s/h, cause these like to be fairly moist, but I am scared lol.

I think it's got to get out of the medium soon though, I noticed since I recieved it that the top of the medium has this white fuzzy mold thing going on (ew and coming out the bottom of the pot). The cinnamon is not killing it. I was hoping it would. I repotted some of my smaller Oak Hill purchases recently, and I know the medium was holding too much moisture and breaking down, I also got two of everything in those (they fell apart 2 plants each pot), Cym, & both Oncs. I am patiently waiting for my kingie to finish blooming as it's medium is shot also. Some of the plants had nice new medium though, and I have not repotted those yet.

The roots look really good, green and plump. So the big question is s/h, or sphag? My other species Phals are in sphag with the exception of my stuartiana, cause I have found it likes things a little drier (it is growing like crazy). I figure my hybrids will probably be here tomorrow hopefully, so it looks like I am getting pressure to repot soon .
