well shoot I knew I should have repotted right away
I got a dendrobium nestor in june and it was doing ok I guess but not really great.Well It was in bark and I dont do well with bark and had just used up my hyrotron on all my catts so I took it out of the pot and put it in a bigger pot and used the little bit I had left to fill in around it.It really took off and the new leaves got quit a bit larger than the ones before this point and new roots started coming aout too.
well I bought hydrotron and got to work on almost everything else in sight but not this one it was just doing too well and I thought ok in fall just dry off some and next spring repot into hydrotron.
Tody I got into a repot the few I had left mood and since new roots are coming out everywhere got the rest finished except this one.Thought about it and then thought well its fall time to dry off anyways will wait ....lol a little later decided to at least take it out of the hydrotron and check roots and put it back if all looked good....well when I took it out had lots of new roots but the old roots in the bark were not so good looking shriveled and like they were dead or dying so I started the process of removing old bark and cleaning her up....not that difficult actually and most in the bark were on the way out but still plenty of great new roots .
My question is actually just what to expect having repotted this late in the season on a den nestor?
