| Thanks for your response. Is there anything else that I need to do to/for the roots? I've repotted it with sphagnum moss immediately surrounding the roots and medium orchid bark around that. If this is a bad idea, please advise; but I was thinking that maybe the combination would help the roots to get the moisture that they need while allowing the medium to dry out more completely between waterings. As I mentioned above, the medium was staying wet for sometimes a month at a time and I think this is what lead to the root rot in the first place. I've also set it up on a humidity tray and moved it into a warmer room. For the last month we haven't had a heat and temps sometimes drop below 50, but with a spaceheater I should be able to keep things above 60.
Also, should I continue to check on the roots? And should I fertilize it at all while it's trying to make a comeback? (Also, does that look like a new leaf coming out in the first picture?)
Thanks again for your response. |
