    Default Challenged Sharon King 'Yuki'

    I have a Catleya Hybrid rescue that I got from a friend last fall. The potting mixture she had it in was pretty nasty looking so I repotted it and removed all the dead roots back in September. It has been in a mixture of bark and charcoal for a bout five months and has produced very little new growth over that time. Recently the pot it was in tipped over on a windy day and dumped it out along with the medium it was in. It turned out that it was really two plants so I cleaned it up and repotted the two separately in 2 three inch pots in the same kind of mixture. My question is does anyone have an opinion on how best to care for these two youngsters and is there some way to stimulate new root growth. Or should I just relax and be patient.
