I was at Lowes about a week ago and they just recieved a bunch of cattleya's in little mesh bags. So of course I got one and while I was there I purchased a bag of orchid mix.
When I got home I opened that bag and Something just didn't look right. The plant was fine but the mix was just wood, charcol, and perlight. After potting up the plant with it I watered it and 5 minuets later it was dry.
I wanted to repot my Phal in this stuff but it refuses to hold any water. So should I? I read that cattleya's like to be dry but this is a little overboard right? Should I mist it more often? (the Phal is planted in LFS btw )
