I do not remember, but i think the original bark mix was fine....That could
be the problem.....but it is curious the plant started to grow when i
repotted...I think i will repot again, check the roots, and add some
spanghum moss to the mix..

Thanks a lot

3 things come to mind

1) was it in medium bark to begin with? Usually, the rule of thumb is to
use
bark in the same size as the size of the roots (fine roots = small bark)
The
medium bark might be too large for it and its drying out prematurely.

2) did you premoisten the bark prior to using it? Lots of times the bark
has
a bunch of dust and dirt in it too and this adds salts to the potting
mixture, which the roots pick up and causes leaf tip die back. Pre
rinsing,
pre moistening cleans the bark.

3) I forgot what the 3rd thing was.... It'll come to me and I'll repost
unless someone else comes up with it 1st. *G*

Anyway, you could try covering the medium bark with sphagnum moss in an
atempt to hold more moisture at the roots if repotting it in finer medium
is
too much trouble.
