Deflasking C. eldorado

[Johndeaux22]

I just received half a dozen flasks from HBI, one of which being C. eldorado. Ordinarily I deflask into NZ sphagnum plugs which has been hydrated with a very dilute fertilizer solution, which I’m comfortable with for the rest of the flasks; however, I’ve been reading that C. eldorado likes to dry a bit more than many Cattleya species. Looking for advice on appropriate media. I have bark in various sizes, along with NZ sphagnum, and an assortment of inorganic options. Am I overthinking this, and should proceed as I’ve had success in the past? Any option chosen will include a swim in a bath of Kelpak, and Quantum total before ultimately being put into my plug trays.
