mytwogirls is on a distinguished road
I have repotted twice during spike/blooming time. The first was my phal NOID and it was potted in moss. The geeks on here kept advising me to repot since it came from a grocery store, I was new to orchids and it was potted in moss. It was in full bloom and several days later my blooms dropped. It could have been due to stress or because the plant had just been done blooming. Either way I was glad I repotted. The plant now is in spike again, starting to bud and doing great! I also just repotted my phal Black Jack and it just started to open buds and it never dropped a single bud. In fact, more buds have opened and it is thriving great. If you have never repotted I would do it, personally. But if have repotted it before, you can wait, but if the media is breaking down, repot it. Remember taking care of the plant as whole is the goal, the flowers will come on their own. There are always flowers for next year. Saving the plant is the goal. Good luck.
