    Tony - just take it out of the pot, wash the compost off, then put it back in the same pot - that will give the roots some air, and then you may choose to mount when you see new growth of some kind start.
    That's what I did with my current plant, and its doing well in the original basket, sans compost , sprayed from time to to time.

    Hi, Geoff and Tony. I got this plant from a very reliable vendor. There is always space for a mixup, but I continue to think this is not the case. When I got this plant it had no roots at all, just those dry threads you can see towards the front of the mount. It did have two new leads that gave me hope. The plant seemed very dehidrated, which can explain the grooved pseudobulbs. It is really striving now. I can see the powdery silver green color on it, the flattened pseudobulbs and the thin leathery leaves. Time will tell.
