Did I repot the Cattleya right?
I bought a root bound old cattleya November last year. After it bloomed 10 flowers, I realized that I had to repot it because the later blooms became smaller and smaller. The aerial roots were slowly dying. The leaves of the middle session started to shrivel.
About one month ago, I cut the plastic pot and found the roots in the pot were basically dead. Since the plant was growing to all the directions, I decided to break it down to three sections, leaving the middle part almost no roots. I mixed the bark, perlite and some spag moss and potted them into clay pots. I have been watering them about once a week. I put them under the growing light and they get light about 10 hours a day now. The humidity is about 60% to 70%. The temperature is between 60 and 70. This is my second cattleya. I killed my first one by re-potting it incorrectly. I'm quite nervous about this one. It has been one month and I didn't see much change. I didn't observe any new roots. I don't see it's getting worse either. Maybe I should just wait to see?
