Good Signs
Ok, so i started placing the orchid over a pan of water to add humidity, and things seem to be going well, I've noticed a few new roots beginning to sprout!
Today I noticed my leaves were shriveled, which I heard was an indication that I could have a hydration problem tied to poor root health, so I pulled the thing back out of the pot to have a look. . . I found several more dead roots that I feel were probably on their way out at my re-potting about 5 weeks ago, also, all of my healthy roots had about a half inch of fresh white growth on the ends.
Could I be out of the woods?
Three specific questions:
Anything I can do for my shriveled leaves but wait for new roots?
How often should I be watering with my new potting mix (mainly bark) as opposed to my original (all moss).
Can anyone recommend a good fertilizer to get this thing back on its feet?
Any other recommendations or pointers are welcome, and thanks for all the help!
