I got this fragrant Zygopetalum as a rehab a few years ago before I really knew how to care for orchids. I had it in perlite and bark and it grew and bloomed for me two years and then got root rot. 2024 was the first rebloom after the rot, and this is the second bloom this year - a double- stem! 🌱

An orchid sitting on a wooden table has long, pleated leaves below half a dozen purple and maroon flowers with white-dappled lips and yellow petal edges.

I would have assumed that perlite and bark would have fantastic drainage. What should you use instead?
