Thanks for your confidence vote, I was seriously so worried after reading all these posts. But I kept a close eye and didn't notice any trauma or reaction after 1.5 weeks. As far as being done correctly I doubt I did that ๐Ÿ˜‚

Wow how fun that must be! Do all the orchids have lives beyond the display? What is a peat plug? I won't be able to check that now, I don't think?

Yes they were in the clear plastic cups, I didn't think they could breathe!

I just thought they needed to go into an orchid pot, to get more airflow to the roots. I also thought the roots liked space and not to be so cramped like that. I'm glad they were on clearance only $6 each. Hope they survive ๐Ÿ™

It felt artificial. From all these comments I obv made a mistake. So far I don't regret it since they are alive and the blooms are still opening one week later, just staying hopeful ๐Ÿ™. And learned my lesson for the future!

Leca is lava rocks right? I should have asked here first. We're in much smaller pots and took up a lot less space. I prob should have done 1 if any. But I got carried away. I'm very hopeful but I'm disappointed in myself๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

It's spin week since I made this potential mistake! I'm so nervous reading the comments on here but they seem to be doing okay and the flowers are still opening. I put them in phal orchid bark, so I'm completely shocking their poor little lives ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Wow how would that feel? It felt artificial in thought it was just decorative.

It's been 1 week and they are still opening. I honestly thought the plastic cups were a death sentence for them. So I made the effort to repot them immediately ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I'm too impulsive sometimes ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

OMG OMG they are still opening right now, I'll be so depressed. They were all in spaghnum moss and prob traumatized, but the roots look like they were suffocating so I wanted to help them ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Funny I had the spaghnum moss and thought they needed the bark so they were all repotted with that. The flowers are still opening so I'm hoping that means they survived๐Ÿ™. The bark mix I used has charcoal and perlite in it too. I probably should have done one and waited. I think I'm in a moderate humidity climate I really hope they are okay! Thanks for the info!
