Greenwich Elmhurst is very suseptable to root rot. I would repot this now as I saw some new roots growing. I would put it in Bark/perlite/charcoal for maximum drainage and drying. Just take it out of this pot and put it into another and fill with new mix. get as much of the old mix out as you can like I said before. This orchid is beautiful when in bloom. Pale greenish yellow with a fabulous scent. Nice big flowers. Don't over pot it. Just an extra inch around the edge of the new pot.

I have Orchiata and big perlite. I don't have any charcoal right now. I have been potting catts in straight Orchiate. Is that okay?
I also have Tindara's potting mix that I could use. That would probably keep it too moist. A couple of my BG baggy catts love it and the roots are coming out of the side slits on the clear pots. I will post pictures of that pot tomorrow. Need to get the kids to bed.
Thank you so much for your help.
