Hi Astrid! Just wondering how your spectabile is recovering, I hope it's kicking Axe and taking names!
if it is recovering, I just wanted to ask what care you provided for it to recover (did you give it warmer temps, more light, less water, any growth hormones or ferts etc.) I just recently bought one in a tragic state from Lowes and just wanted to know what other's plan of action is for rescuing these beauties! Any advice or updates would be appreciated, many thanks!

PS, on a last note, I've had good results using a tiny tiny light sprinkling of horticultural sulfur mixed into my media to deter snails and other bugs.
What I do usually is pre-soak or rinse the bark mix(I usually use bark/charcoal/ perlite mixes) and when the media is nice and "moist" (a creepy sounding word, I know :P ) I take my can of sulfur dust and just shake it over the media like I'm shaking table salt onto food. I don't squeeze the can to release a sulfur dust plume, although that can be done with less sensitive plants, but I wouldn't use that much for orchids. I just get a fine yellow mist on the media and mix it in well, then use this to repot my orchids. Just a suggestion to tuck away if you ever need it
