Help! Just repotted an Oncidium and a Colmanara
I just repotted one of my Sharry Baby orchids that had dropped all its flowers. There were two really yellow and squishy looking pseudobulbs under all the media in the old pot so I took them off, there are still three good sized pseudobulbs left.
I also repotted an unknown one, the tag it had said Colmanara Wildcat "Yellow Butterfly", but then again one of the Phal's was given a Colmanara Wildcat "Rainbow" tag, so I know they may not be right.
I used Black Gold orchid bark, and let it sit in water for about 15 minutes before putting it in. I removed as much of the old media as possible - the roots reminded me of those crispy noodles that you can get at chinese food restaurants. Not sure if that's how they're supposed to be??
Both had pseudobulbs that were really dehydrated looking so I doused them well with water and will keep them more shaded and more hydrated for a week or two so they'll hopefully plump back up.
Is there anything I didn't do that I should have, or that I DID do and shouldn't have??
