I did water it completely a while after repotting.

90% of the roots are hidden by the media now.
I wonder how often I should water it?

Mine had two lowest leaves when I got it, one was yellow. I removed it after a few days. A few weeks later it's opposite lowest leaf turned yellow and I removed it.

Everything has been great ever since. I enjoyed the original flowers and one remained, when I got the bonus branch... 20 buds, at least 10 in bloom now.
Meanwhile, 2 smaller leaves are growing way down low (maybe they were there before? I'll check my pictures Orchid 1 - Google Photos
! one kind of in the medium (even still after my repot yesterday).
These remain small and one, both really, one started first, are yellowing (see attached pic).

I read that yellow was too much light; I also read too much water (root rot).

What's happening? What to watch for? What to do?

Since I just repotted, not sure when to water! I did not soak bark... oldbeachbum, if you're reading: soaking first might have an advantage for a beginner (me!) because, hey, I could check the bark dryness to help me know when to water during this crucial time! Idk, I'm just guessing.

seems to be a hearty little guy, I hope he makes it and flourishes!
Hello Tedro. I am a realoldbeachbum wannabe!! Got the "real old" covered and working on the beachbum part.

I am so new to orchids that I hesitate to provide advice, but one way I tell when my orchids need water is to look for condensation on the inside of the pot. I ALWAYS use clear pots so I can monitor roots and moisture. If there is condensation, I wait another day. It works for me. So far (fingers crossed) I have not lost an orchid. I have 31 and they are mostly rescues from big box stores!!!

Totally addicted.
