Pleurothallis restrepioides root rot

[Jasonmc89]

Hi everybody, I have recently acquired a Peurothallis restrepioides that came bare rooted. It had a a huge healthy root system when I got it and I quickly potted it up with a bark and sphag mix but it seems like all the nice healthy roots are dying. I am watering it as it approaches dryness but is still slightly damp to the touch and giving it a weak feed every week or so. Drainage and air circulation is not a problem.

Should I expect to see some root dieback when re-potting a plant like this?

Or could it be that I've been letting it dry out too much in between waterings?


Would appreciate any advice!


Cheers!
