I've been monitoring the roots and they seem fine. Its been in there for about 2 weeks now. I generally don't water until the bark absorbs moisture but give a quick spirtz of water. The roots haven't developed growing tips yet so I was considering waiting until I see some new root growth emerge before fertilising. Perhaps I should fertilise far more heavily, perhaps every water with rain mix (I have enough of the stuff to use).
As for the brown markings, I suppose really it makes sense the edges have browned and had a dieback of cells. I'll bring it through the rest of my orchids tomorrow, and hope that I have indeed got rid of the spider mite.
