Growing Sophronitis coccinea

[DelawareJim]

Hi all;

I have a Soph. coccinea that is currently in a 2.5 inch square plastic pot planted in sphag. It is in an east facing window and watered/fertilized about once a week when the sphag. dries. I threat it basically like my Neos on the same table.

Lately it started putting out 3 new shoots but also seems to be developing some rot at the opposite end. I've lost about 1/2 inch and 3 p-bulbs to rot.

I moved it into a plastic Fukiran/Neofinetia pot like this Fukiran pot this morning to provide more air and hopefully dry out fast and stop the rot. I'm thinking I should trim the bad end, dust with cinnamon and replant in fresh clean sphag.

Anyway, suggestions from you more seasoned growers?
Mount? Clay pot? Something other than sphag?

It's a special plant from the Japan Orchid Grande Prix and I don't want to lose it.

Thanks.

Cheers.
Jim
