Am I watering this Coel. Unchained Melody enough?
I got my first Coelogyne, an 'Unchained Melody' and potted it in tree fern about a month ago. A lot of the old roots got damaged and the pseudobulbs shrivelled up a bit. New roots started appearing about two weeks ago and I've been soaking the whole pot for 15-20 mins twice a week but the pseudobulbs are still shrivelled. So I'd appreciate some opinions from more experienced growers as to whether I should be watering more often. Or should I continue as normal and wait and see?
I know they get rain daily during the monsoon season in their natural habitat but I'm afraid of overwatering. Our humidity tends to be high right now, around 50-60%, so the medium would stay quite moist constantly if I water more frequently.
