Rehabbing Oncsa. Gower Ramsey

[greenhouseFrog]

I was gifted this Onc. Gower Ramsey by a friend of mine, and while excited, I’m concerned by the desiccation of the pseudobulbs and the negligible amount of mealybugs that tagged along.

Despite being very thirsty, this plant made a new growth at some point in the recent past and is on its way out of the container—does this plant look like a candidate for repotting? If so, could I submerge the roots in a Kelpak solution for like a day beforehand and then pot up to where the media is level with the base of the new growth?

As for the bugs, I’ve had reasonable success by just blasting them with soapy water until they’re gone, but that’s only because I’ve never dealt with a major infestation!

Thanks in advance!
