I need some input again. -- and getting this post back on track.

My poor rootless Slc Mine Gold 'Corona' grew 3 new growths since losing all its roots in June... Yay! ... but they've slowed or nearly stopped growing since then. The older pbulbs are almost completely dessicated now and twisted and I still don't really have much in the way of roots. I think I counted 5, the longest is only about 3/4" long, and all extremely thin. It looks more like onc roots than the thicker roots that used to be on this plant!

I had the rhizome wrapped in a decent sized wad of spag and then had bark mix under about 1" of spag. I've been misting the leaves daily and wetting the spag after it totally dries. Picked things up to check on it a few days ago and found icky webb-type bug egg sacks all over the bark! ICK!!!

Between the nasty bugs, the thin roots and lack of speed on the growths (the longest of which is only about 1.5") I repotted. This time with much less spag, then a mix of about 70% di lecca and 30% bark mix... I've never used the di lecca before and I'm not sure if this will work or kill the plant for good. I've got it in a 4" clear slotted plastic pot with the bottom sitting in a catch tray filled with about 3/4" of water. So, somewhat semi-hydro. I did this because I'm afraid the spag was keeping things too moist resulting in thin roots or a rotting rhizome... also, I'm hoping the dilecca is not fun for bug nests. Still no clue what the bugs were, since all I found were eggs.

Does anyone think this is a bad idea? AM I probably going to end up killing this or is it maybe going into a semi-dormant stage due to declining light / seasonal changes? When it was healthy, I usually had blooms in Spring and Fall.

Thanks!!
