Phragmipediums assessment and repotting

Last year I bought a few phragmipediums, mostly besseae hybrids, because they are just so pretty. They all were strong multigrowth plants from Ecuagenera. They lived in the larger tank and instead of growing they were continuously rotting their leaves off.
They did grow nice roots, but with regards to their foliage - it was just diminishing.
There could be many reasons for it - too humid air in the tank, not enough fertilizer, keeping them in saucers with water. So I decided change everything.
I started my yearly repotting ritual with phrags - fresh media will help.
Here is my mix - large sponge rock with small fir bark:



Then I add some river stones into mix:



Unpotted Eumelia Arias, nice roots:



Freshly potted in their new home:



I decided to move them on to bathroom windowsill. There is plenty of light, not as dry as the rest of the house, but also not as humid as tank.

Phragmipediums update

So, one month passed since my initial "phragmipediums assessment", now it is time to see how they are doing.

Phrag. besseae is still blooming, roots are growing. Small green nub of the new shot is now much larger and starts to hang out of the pot:



Phrag. Eric Young is still blooming too.
New growth on the front fan is developing well:



Two new fans on the back growth are growing nicely:



One of the formations on the old middle fans got a green point and most likely will become yet one more new fan:



And here is the best part. Month ago no green root points were visible in the Eric Young pot, now there it is:



All in all I think they passed the test and seem to be staying. To celebrate this "graduation" of my test phrags I went to Ecuagenera website and pre-ordered three more hybrids: Hanne Popow, Fritz Schomburg and Eumelia Arias...
