Hey, I think it needs better drainage. Add perlite and bark to the soil. It needs to be a chunky soil mix.

#### Tellie ha respondido el 2024-05-08

You can. Mines in indoor potting mix perlite and orchid bark.

#### Ash ha respondido el 2024-05-08

I would mix the orchid mix with what you currently have. Mines in leca

I agree, improve your soil drainage. You also might need to downsize. You only want to be 1-2” larger than the root ball.

Check the roots. If there’s a lot of rot you may need to restart it in water. If there are still healthy roots I agree with the other suggestions to repot in a chunky mix. I use Molly’s.
