Received this Cattleya from a friend upon her trip back from Texas. I named her Spookie for sentimental reasons.
It was a Better Gro plant wrapped in netting and a wee black plastic pot. I kept it that way mostly I just placed the tiny cell pack into a slightly larger clay pot for steadiness and brought her to work and placed on a frosted southern window sill.
It had the split leaf from the netting it was wrapped in but I just lightly taped it.
Most of the spring/early summer it seemed okay until I noticed the plant was becoming unsteady and it's roots were crawling upward and out of the small plastic container it was in.
I took Spookie home and repotted from the small plastic container into the larger clay pot that was holding her. I placed the orchid on the sun porch slowly and she seemed to like it for the most part.
When I had transplanted I noticed that the roots were rather small and it once again became unsteady in the larger pot after a bit.
I decided to put Spookie into a smaller clay pot but it now appears to have lost some color and looking closer the leaves look wrinkly to me, I water when she is dry and monitor with skewer. Fert weakly every other soaking.
Help??
