HI everyone… Im new to this forum and not too experienced with orchids so I need your help I received a gorgeous purple Phalaenopsis as a gift. It came in a plastic pot so I removed it and placed it a clay pot (I treated it with bleach and then rinsed several times ) But I found that the roots had packing foam in the roots. I wasn’t sure if this was harmful to the plant or not and I was scared to untangle the roots. Can anyone give me some direction? Also I was wondering what the guidelines for potting are as far as size.
THANKS A MILLION!!!
