Check the size of the picture because, theres a size-limit. If your picture is too big it may not upload. I have tried to post pictures myself, but I found out that the size of the photo was too big, and it didn't upload. When you want to post a photo theres a graph that tells you want kind of extensions and the size that it can accept. I hope this helps.

I think you have to make 15 posts before you can link to an image. This should be my 7th haha....

You should never be too quick to repot.

Every repotting is a small stress on the plant and too often slows down the flowering cycle. This is why repotting is suggested only when you see new growth. The new growth will take the move as if nothing happened.

I recomend repotting when the medium is too old where it is harming the plant or when it is so large you really do not like the way it looks.

Medium decomposes and on a Phal you probably should be changing it every three years. Some people repot every year.


Your plant sounds like it is ok for another year or two so repotting now is if you do not like the way it looks.

there have been a number of posting issues with the gallery. Dave has been working on it.

For anyone who whats to place a photo in their question and has the photo on another web site you can use this code

---http://www.orchidgeeks.com/gallery/f...variations.jpg" alt="Blc. Golden Tang 4 color variations" />---

If you do not use the three dashes in the code --- The photo will appear in the post. The three --- at the front and back are here to prevent the photo from displaying so that you can see the code. If you notice the http code became an active hyperlink and the flower displays if you click on it.

You can get the code off another site by right clicking on the photo and selecting properties. It will display the http code. copy it into the code between the quotation marks.


Without this code it becomes an active hyperlink that can display be clicking on it, but so many hackers are using hyperlinks to go phishing many people will not use them.
