The place I live in is very cool in the winter, any recommendations on potting materials? I was thinking about clay and sphagnum moss or a phaleanopsis mix I got from repotme.com that is a mix of sphagnum moss and materials. I also do not want to sacrifice the flower stalks that have just finally matured.
Psychopsis hate root disturbance, so I highly recommend you repot only when it is making fresh new roots, so any damage/stress is reuced as much as possible.
