Sad little cat...

[learning2letgo]

Against my better judgement, a few months ago I decided to get one of those little cheap cattleyas that Lowe's sells in the mesh bags... I thought hey, cheap 'lil plant, I can maintain it, grow it larger, blah, blah, blah...

Yeah, well... It hasn't been doing well... I potted it and it's still looking somewhat withered two months later, but it's still green and not dead... It looked somewhat withdrawn, perhaps dormant from lack of water when I purchased it, but I didn't know any better and I wanted another orchid! LOL... When I water it, I smell a wet dirt odor... What could be causing this when I have it in a bark/charcoal/peanut mixture? Any suggestions?
