Go back to bark if leaves wilting?
Default Go back to bark if leaves wilting?

I recently changed over about 8 orchids, 6 phals and 2 paps. It's been about 3 weeks now I'd guess and none of them has really come back yet. One of the Paps never got the soft wilting leaves that the rest have but that one never seems to show what's going on.

Essentially all of them have the very soft flimsy leaves now, have for over a week, and now most are getting some wrinkles with one even getting a sliver of yellow in one of its main leaves. These are all in an office with huge south facing windows (although tinted about 800 - 1200ftcd at the plant) in Minnesota. It's pretty dry air coming on winter but also has very good air circulation. Most of them have multiple new roots, although most seem to be coming out above the Prime Agra and growing out over the top of them. A few are pointing down but don't seem to have grown very far. Based on the wilting leaves clearly it's not getting water. I've crushed some of the upper prime agra pellets and they don't seem to have any moisture inside, are they supposed to?

At some point on some of these should I give up and repot them back into bark and try again some other day or should I just stick it out and see what happens? If the old roots haven't died off is that a better idea?
