Repotting Dendrobium
Hi all. I just repotted my dendrobium NOID. It has a new lead with new roots starting to grow. The new lead was growing outside the pot so I repotted to give it more room.
I used only coco chunks, and pine bark. Is this ok? I forgot to add charcoal, should I repot again and add this? I knew I was forgetting something.

I don't think it'll be a problem, Tin.

It depends on your growing conditions, so no one knows better than you. For example, I avoid coco chunks because they get molded overnight.  |

Yap Like Shadow already said, It does depend on ur conditions. As long as you didn't overpot, The mixture should be fine.
Tin, What did you have it in before?

charcoal isn't a essential. I think you will be ok, as long as your growing conditions are correct. Watch out when the mix decays

It was on a chunk of something. In fact I just took that chunk and broke it up into lots of smaller pieces. So its not really coco husk, just kinda looks like it. Sorry, I just didn't want to say I used a mixture of something that looks like coco husk and pine bark.
At least it drains really well now!
