    Default Wrinkly pseudobulb

    Hi all!

    I'm new to the whole orchid growing thing, but have been fascinated by the plants for as long as i can remember.

    i finally broke down and bought my first orchid about 3 weeks ago. it's Colmanara Wildcat 'Bobcat.' When i repotted it after getting it home (lots of salt buildup on the bark) i saw the the roots were in less than good condition, and had to trim a bunch of them off. Repotted in sphag and bark after a thorough dusting of cinamon, and hoped for the best. The newest pseudobulb started to wrinkle within a few days of this, and still hasn't plumped back up. i've been misting the leaves in the morning and have the plant sitting on a humidity tray of sorts (made from lab supplies, but it works). i'm also not seeing any signs of new root growth. Should i be concerned yet? Is there anything i should do to help it along, or am i still at the 'cross your fingers' stage with it?

    i'm going to try to attach a picture of the wrinkly bulb, my apologies if it doesn't work!

    thanks for the advice!
