you can call me cheap, raising a family in NYC on a single income is pretty hard. But I think what interest me about Orchid is their ability to revive and what's become my new hobby is to take poor/neglected(and often cheap) orchid and raise them back to health and see them bloom again. Here is another one of my cheap $5.00 Chinatown find. This one looks okay other than the very dried up and very wrinkled pseudobulbs. There are still some leftover blossoms on it making identifying a bit easier. The roots looks very full and healthy. However, the plant is infested with ants, and on my initial watering(drowning of the pot), a slug came out of the potting mix. I have since replanted in proper Onc. mix(small coconut husk mix) and treat the plants with insecticidal soap spray. I'm having problem getting rid of the ants and I'm open to any suggestions on what you would do to get this plant on the right path.
here are some photos.
