Remounting Pleurothallis Alliance
Went to an orchid show recently and picked these up, a Dracula Bella from Ecuagenera, and the andinia nummularia, Lepanthes Aculeata, Sophrontis Cernua from Spiceotics (plus a Rhynchostylis Gigantea, but that's besides the point). I also regret not picking up the Bulbophyllum Moniliforme, but I plan on ordering a Dracula Lotax at some point so may get it then. Anyway...
I think they all need freshening up in terms of medium, also the mounts aren't ideal, it's just reformed cork. However I think the Sophrontis is firmly attached so I may cut around the roots and wire it to proper cork bark. The Dracula was completely dried out, I think due to import laws, so plan on getting that into a hydroponic basket, and I think it has exactly 0 living roots left.
Do I leave them as they are whilst they're in pest quarantine, or do I refresh them now?
