Miltassia Shelob 'Okika'

I have been waiting ages for this one to bloom. When I first got it, it was in PACKED sphagnum. I didn’t repot soon enough, lost all the roots and have been dealing with setback ever since. It’s been a long road with this one but worth it 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

Yes! Long road! But good job! I need more patience for this. My mini orchid has lost quite a few leaves due to that foamy black dirt it came in. Even one orchid I put in LECA that was a large orchid had that black dirt underneath the bark! I was surprised!! Now I’m thinking my mini orchid will become a larger orchid and not stay mini!!

It might be the bark deeper on the pot had broken down into a soil-like consistency. Regardless good luck with the new media!
