| Thanks for the advice Jerry!
This phal has not reflowered since the first time I got it. I've seen lots of root and leaf growth but no blooming. I haven't been fertilizing consistently, but I was using was 19-31-17. I will switch to something more balanced.
I was worried that if there are too many roots outside of the pot, that it wouldn't be healthy because they aren't getting the moisture from the medium (I use a mixture of spaghnum moss and Schultz orchid mix). And aesthetically, I don't really like the way all the exposed roots can look all unruly. But I guess I can mist the exposed roots. Or, as you say, if it doesn't harm the plant, I can prune these. So, if I want to maximize flowering, and minimize root growth, how often should I repot? Or at what point, do I definitely need to repot?
