Repotting a specimen Catt. gaskelliana?
I have a Cattleya gaskelliana specimen, with over 20 pseudobulbs. I'm in Massachusetts, indoor humidity around 30-40%, temps around 68-75 indoors. I don't want to have to water it every day.
I repotted it a few years ago – before I knew better!! – in a large plastic pot in very tightly packed sphagnum moss. Oops. I'm paying for that mistake now!
So, I'm repotting.
I'm thinking of potting it in large orchiata bark. But since it will need a large pot, I'm thinking of using terra cotta, since I wan't to make sure it's not getting waterlogged. Does this sound like a good idea? Other suggestions?
