Cattleya Lawre-Mossiae

i'm guessing the repotting has helped cure whatever was ailing the plant. i don't think the older growths will look 'right' again, but may plump up a bit, but the new growths may come in much better now. someone once gave me a cattleya in similar condition. 2 years later i gave it back in bloom. the old canes never really stood up tall again, but the new growths came in nice and strong.

Yes, I think maybe a few people missed the part where I said it was newly repotted. I had someone give me a stack of a dozen or so plastic bulb pans with nice holes in the bottoms, but not so much that a little extra moisture will stay at the bottom. I have also begun potting plants like this in a new pine mulch. The mulch has this sponge like stuff in there, and every plant that was having similar issues as this plant I recently cleaned up, gave a therapeutic soak in superthrive, honey and a systemic antifungal...trimmed bad roots and then potted into these bulb pans with the new pine mulch stuff. It's been amazing to watch the new roots and improvement in nearly all of the repotted plants. They are doing so well I ordered another huge bag of the mulch to use with a few others. I've already repotted a bunch, and still have more to get finished. Thanks for everyones suggestions...
