repot shock?
So I am wondering if this is normal for an orchid to have all these yellow leaves and for the pseudo bulbs to look this wrinkly after a re-pot.
Here is some basic info on this plant.
I got it at a discount because it was kind of beat up and had already flowered. The medium it came in was spag moss that looked kind of slimy on top. Therefore, I repotted it within a week of purchasing it. I put it a bark /spag mix and it was repotted on 3/16/18. During the repot there was a lot of rotted roots so I removed them and the old spag moss. It was quite difficult to get all the old medium out of the roots so I am not sure if I was too rough with it.
Since then it has been in a NW window with sheer curtain with some of my other house plants. It is closest to the window but I have been thinking of moving it. I didn’t want to shock it too much since it is in a new environment, I repotted it and during the repot it lost some roots.
I have been watering about twice a week since it is in mostly bark. Also it is in a clear plastic pot with side slots inside of decorative pot. I have fertilized it once about a week after the repot with hausermanns that they make which is 8-4-8. It is Degarmoara Pluto's Drummer Pacific Pink.
Should I just keep doing what I am doing and wait for it to bounce back or should I make a change in its environment now? I have a sharry baby in one of my west windows without any curtains and it seems to have adjusted great to my environment. It is a new purchase as well but it was in perfect shape when I bought it so it started off much better than this one. It has not been repotted yet at this point but I was thinking of moving this one to the same window for it to get more sun.
Thanks in advance for your help.
