Repotting My Paph.

[Sassismom]

I was in the process of repotting. I have never looked at the roots of this plant, so I'm not sure what they should look like. A couple fell off and only a few are left are they supposed to be green like a phal. or what exactly am I looking for, I sure hope it's ok, not sure.

I just went on instinct by what they felt like, squishy not good firm good


I am certain someone will give you much better advice though

[Sassismom]

Maybe, but that's pretty good. I'll have a check. Thanks.

[Sassismom]

OK good three firm and the rest are gone. Thanks so much for the quick response Annette.

from what i've read on here people say pour peroxcide over and sprinkle cinnamon on

My one Paph has really dark roots...and they are hairy...but firm. They kind of creep me out a little

[Sassismom]

I used the peroxide and cinnamon. They are kind of dark but not so much hairy that I could see. My other one was a little hairy.

[psyc1210]

Sounds like you're doing fine. My one Paphs roots are really, really hairy...and then another is really not at all..and then another is kinda in the middle

Paph roots are hairy and dark colored. They should be firm not squishy.
Could you post a picture?

[Sassismom]

Oops, to late, already repotted. But they were firm.

[missann]

Yeah, you did a good job. I just repotted mine as well, and I was weirded out by them. I had never repotted them and they were still in their original mix that I bought them in, but none of them were bad and it had been something like 4 years. Anyway. They were hairy and weird, but I like them becase they don't stick to the sides of the pots and the bark that they are in!!! That is the best part.
