Desiccated Orchids.

14 years ago

Hi there, I just acquired a few new orchids. I'm beginning to collect them.

My problem is one the I bought, a Cattleya Hybrid LC Dinard, "blue heaven" has been neglected and looks bad. The psuedobulbs are shriveled like raisins and the sheath is an empty pouch.

I removed all of the old media and soaked it in a bucket of warm water for 2 hours, then I potted it up in some fresh fir bark, charcoal and perlite mix. I finally placed it in the bathroom for added humidity. Do you think it will recover? do you have any advice to help it along?

thanks much.
