Repotting a cattleya with root issues.
Hello all,
I received this cattleya bare-root about a month ago. When it arrived, I didn’t have exactly the right supplies to repot on hand and had to improvise.
Unfortunately, this caused the plant to rot almost all of the roots. I think both the medium wasn’t good and the pot was too large.
Now I have repot it again more properly and I wanted to make sure how I’ve done it is acceptable. As a note, most of the roots in the pot are brownish and not good. I did not cut them off because parts of them were still alive but some roots sections were clearly rotting. Should I have just cut off all of the roots that were decaying even if they had ok spots?
Does this look okay now for the plant to regrow roots? I potted it a bit higher than I normally would? Is it too high in the pot. I thought the rhizome should be above the bark.
Thankfully, the leaves show no sign of dehydration yet and the bulbs have many active eyes and a maturing new growth.
Is there anything else I need to do? Should I repot it again differently?
