It's not necessarily what caused it to die. People who are huge fans of japanese orchids often potted them up the traditional japanese way, like the way Neofinetia are potted. I had a Sedirea potted in a sphag moss mound, and it did great, and had terrific root growth. Sadly I lost it over the summer while on vacation. A relative who was supposed to care for the plants forgot to water this one.
