| metucker - two things concerning your upcoming repot. You want to be careful not to overpot size-wize. Your best bet is to use the smallest pot you can easily get all the roots in. The "tacky" green plastic pots are excellent for orchids in that they are VERY cheap for growers to use and come in every imaginable size. For the home grower they work well too - you can place them inside a ceramic or otherwise decorative pot for aesthetic purposes if you like. If you are using bark be sure to soak the bark for 24-48 hours ahead of time to get some water into the bark for starters. You may need to soak the bark, pot, roots and all for a few weeks or months depending on how well the bark retains moisture from the start. Some bark does well from the beginning and other bark is real stubborn about starting to absorb and retain moisture. When you look over your plant prior to repotting cut off any mushy, dehydrated, or otherwise wasted away roots. Good luck - mike |
