Normal reaction to change in Phal's media? Female
Default Normal reaction to change in Phal's media?

As I posted in the Potting forum (see Wait on fertilizer after repot) I bought a NOID Phal. After owning her a week I repotted her because her media was completely broke down and not drying out. During the repot I discovered there was a moss plug in the center of the pot. I repotted her in bark that was soaked over night and from a plastic pot to a clay pot. I waited a week before watering her. She seemed fine with the week wait meaning the leaves hadn't become floppy nor had she dropped her blooms.

Friday morning the media was dry so I let her soak bucket of room temp water for 10 minutes then draining for 10 minutes then soaked her again for 10 min. Last night I check her and she seemed a little droopy but I put it down to maybe transplant shock Today (Monday) the leaves are totally floppy and easily bent. I dug down in the media to check if it was dry (it was) and have watered her this morning by letting her soak for one 10 minute session. The humidity of the room (50-60%) nor the temperature hasn't changed in the two weeks. The only thing that has changed is the amount of light she's getting since we've gone from over-casted days to actual sunny to partly sunny days.

Am I doing something wrong with letting her soak, not giving her enough humidity, too much light or is this normal reaction from going from a media that held on to a lot of water to one that does not?
