With fresh media, you'll need to pay attention to watering, since it will dry out more rapidly (which the plant will also love) For pests, Bayer's Advanced 3-in-1 includes both insecticide and miticide and is systemic.

I do have some Orchiata bark (w/charcoal and sponge rock). I would love to be able to salvage this plant. I certainly don't see much point in buying live plants to just throw them away after they bloom. I started another thread in the beginner's section to get recommendations on whether I should try to save a plant with Fusarium or not. It seems like most folks hear or read the word and automatically go to "burn it with fire and then call in the nukes" mode.
I did read one other thread from a guy back in 2014 that had it, and a year later, the plant was healthy and reblooming. So it seems like it is possible to defeat.
