Have you noticed?

I've noticed that when certain orchids begin throwing out alot of airial roots that they haven't had before, the medium is getting to be too old and the potted roots are begining to die. Just an observation from some of my recent repotting. Seems like the chid is trying to tell me something. For instance, my Epidendrum had tons of arial roots which is relatively normal, but few pot roots and the medium was pretty used up and mushy. Now that its in fresh medium its not sending arial roots.

That's very interesting hera, I never did notice that it may be telling of what's going on inside the pot. That's a great observation. This is good to know. Thanks much!
