Cochleanthes x Pescatoria advice please
Default Cochleanthes x Pescatoria advice please

Hello!

I need some advice in regards to my Cochleanthes aromatica x Pescatoria lamellosa. I bought it about a year ago when I had little experience with orchids other than phals and catts, and it ended up being very neglected. I'm surprised that it survived, looking through what care info I can find online.

Anyways, now that I've begun to take care of it, it's sending out 5 new growths. It has healthy roots exploding from the base of the plant, travelling upwards. I have noticed dead roots mixed with healthy roots inside of the pot, and when I popped it out of the pot for a look tonight, I could see plenty of healthy roots, and some more dead ones. It's really tightly packed in a moss medium.

Should I repot it, and if so, what medium do you suggest? It sits beside my humidifier, but my environment is still on the dry side. I can water it every day, along with my vanda, if I need to.

I've heard that this kind of orchid resents being repotted. Will repotting it disturb the new growths?

Any advice on this orchid would be greatly appreciated. I've developed a soft spot for it Please help me get it to recover from my neglect!
