Coelogyne asperata dehydrated
Got a Coelogyne asperata shipped bare root from Ecuagenera about 4 months ago. I put it in a pot with sphagnum and tried my best to never let it dry out.
Pseudobulbs were already pretty shrivelled when it arrived, but its since shrivelled and gotten squishy, lost probably 2/3 of its leaves, and a pseudobulb completely withered away. Although recently it appears the leaves have stopped dropping at least.
Is transplant shock normally this bad for Coelogyne? When can I expect it to recover or grow new roots? Do existing pseudobulbs make new roots or do I have to wait for new bulbs to grow? What can I do in the mean time? Putting a plastic bag over it to increase humidity is kind of a last resort for me.
