Change of medium after purchase

[Paul]

Something as "minor" as a repot would not cause that kind of rapid yellowing. What was the condition of the roots like when you repotted?

As Ray mentioned, the question of repotting is a "it depends situation. If the media is one you know will not work for you in your conditions, then you generally will be better off repotting. There was a friend of mine from whom I would occasionally get orchids. He grew almost all of his in ProMix and they grew like gangbusters for him in his greenhouse. I, however, quickly discovered that ProMix just did not work well for me under my growing conditions in my apt. So after discovering this, I simply made a point of immediately repotting any plant I got from him in a mix that worked for me. As Ray said, in doing so, you just have to be prepared to pay closer attention to that plant ... perhaps pamper it a bit ... until it adjusts.

Look at the first page of this thread, there is a link to another thread about this plant, with photos. It was pretty much rootless.
