What am I doing wrong? Orchid is dying

You guys can buy these plants pretty much anywhere in zones 10+. When I visited my friend in Florida they sold the black bat flowers at Lowe's.

Online you can purchase them. Logee's sells them White Bat Flower (Tacca integrifolia)

Thanks. I'll check it out. I am specifically looking for T. chantrieri instead of integrifolia, since chantrieri is suppose to be less than half the size of integrifolia and blooms on much shorter inflorescences. Four feet tall is a bit much for my situation.

They ARE spectacular!! But they need a lot of room... hope you get an idea of the size of the plant with these pictures:

I just repotted mine into a coarser mix so I can water it more often without worrying. It is in 5 parts bark fines, 1 part perlite. It is about 2/3 that mix...but i mixed in some of the medium it was already in, and Im not really sure what that was.

It didnt mind the repot, even though I took it down to bare roots to switch out the medium. I was careful though.

Hopefully someday mine will be big and beautiful too :-D
