Epidendrum in S/H
Default Epidendrum in S/H

Hi everyone,

I picked up a reed stem epi while on vacation (a plane ride and border crossing later) and took it out of its pot at home to find that there were no active roots and medium and roots were rotting.

I cut off all the damaged and rotting roots, dusted the cuts with cinnamon and repotted it into S/H, watered with a superthrive solution and put it on a seedling heat mat but was dumb enough not to cut off the blooms until yesterday as the plant was not recovering and the roots were slowly rotting (as expected I suppose).

Is there anything else I can do for the epi while it adjusts to s/h? I'd hate to lose my favorite souvenir =/ (particularly since it's hard to find a local epi where I am)

Thanks very much for the help,

Ryan
