I took your advice and repotted into pure sphagnum in a more water retentive pot (plastic, not the ceramic pot in the pictures). I was able to see the roots and the new little pbulb.
Based on the current state of things, I could use some more input.
Our days have already grown shorter and cooler. I brought this plant inside, set it on a heat mat and put it under a HPS light. Seeing the little pbulb starting, I'm trying to fake it into thinking it's growing season. Is this a good or bad idea?
Here is what the overall plant looks like:
Here are a couple of close-ups of the roots and new little pbulb:
The pseudobulb is putting out roots! Should I treat this like we're heading into spring, especially with the artificial heat and warm bright grow light? How much should I be watering (or not?) now.
Thanks!
