Knocked over D. aggregatum. How to help recover? Female
Default Knocked over D. aggregatum. How to help recover?

Hello all, I just knocked over my D. aggregatum and I'm pretty nervous about it! I recovered as much of the potting bark as I could, but a lot was lost in my carpet and needed to be vacuumed up. I put it back the pot but there's definitely less bark than before and I don't have more on hand at the moment. Is there any specific treatment to do for it at the moment or just leave it and let the plant deal with the stress on its own? The roots and pseudobulbs are all intact.

Additionally, I noticed some yellowing on the bottom of one of the larger bulbs. It was not squishy at all, just paler and yellower than the parts I normally see. Is that normal or should I treat it like a potentially rotten spot?

Hopefully, someone else will answer. I live in Ohio so....
Here, it would be 'resting' and not growing. If this happened, I would not be too worried. I would let the roots have some exposure to air so that any damage was allowed to heal, I would water as usual (I found this bloomed better if I kept watering it--it dried quickly in my low humidity home), and keep that yellow part above the medium and dry (just the roots should be in the medium). I would keep an eye on the yellowing part but not do anything quiet yet.
Hopefully, someone who lives with your climate can advise you as orchids often grow differently in different climates.

Here is an orchid society that answers questions if you write them: St. Augustine Orchid Society - North Florida Orchid Growing
