I'm ready to help these plants get a better home😎

Yellow and lots of black spots. Sun or fungus?
Old mix, soft- and small bugs running around. Gonna sterilize new pots and flush the roots and cut bad ones.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...f01f39d599.jpg But- same size pot, or the bigger one? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...05e63a1e42.jpg I have one thats wider, but not that tall- maybe use that. Lol, I'm just chatting while I'm thinking what to do :p A bit of topic as well- sorry about that. But it does show that roots can appear healthy on the outside, but when you dig in- it shows how important it is to be sure your orchids are in a good medium- to get a healthy and happy plant :) Edit: repotted- noticed something black on the damaged leaf and stem, cut it gently away, sterilized and repotted. And cut one of the spikes. They tend to grow a bit sideways, so I potted it the way it felt naturally to put it. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...764dc13a9a.jpg Gonna leave it dry for a couple days, hopefully it will like the new pot. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...ca67f48da1.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...ba9e6d614b.jpg |

This kinda says it all. Old mix all tangled up in the roots, moist and wet.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...c5211fb92e.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...643cc6137c.jpg Normally when a root grows up in the air, I want to tell them they got the direction a bit screwed up. In this case I would say, yeah- you go, little fighter. Its safer in the air than in the pot… Man, I've never repotted my plants before. Well, working on that project now. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...73a8981b57.jpg But- I let it soak to try cleaning the roots- can I divide it? If one part doesnt look okay? Or must there be more buøbs before dividing? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...35ddae5cee.jpg Edit: New potting media: bark, a tiny bit of coco bark thing, and perlite. No moss to this guy- hoping the perlite will add enough moist and oxygen, instead of using moss. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...3f63d6ed02.jpg |
I love the narrative and photos with your posts.
Very nice! |
I divided it, not sure if that was a smart thing to do or not, but its done.
Decided to go for really small pots, to make sure I can keep an eye on watering. Gonna dry for a couple days, still sitting all alone, in case it got some fungus or something. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...cfaafa1e4d.jpg And the second one http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...e357f560dc.jpg Now I'm gonna let it heal. Maybe the fungus will magically go away, or maybe it was just sun burn. Time will tell😎 |
