This is a b. lindleyana. Leaves turning yellow. Blooms are finishing up, but more are ready to go. Some blooms are a bit spindly compared to a month ago, but this is the plant's first year. The moisture meter tells me the surface is moist, about 5" below the surface is wet, and at the bottom of the pot its medium moist. The pot is resin sitting on an upside down clay saucer. I think its overwatered and am thinking I should drill some holes at the bottom of the sides for better drainage. Potted in MG "moisture control" mix. Not sure the "moisture control" is worth the money. The shot of the root area is really fuzzy, but there is new green growth there. TIA for any help, and especially for reassurance if all is well.

Can't complain too loud about how the ball bounces when I'm the one who dropped it.
