I bought a Phal from Lowes the other day. It's in flower and I know if I repot it now, I will probably lose the blooms, but it has been in this pot for at least a year according to the attached tag, and the potting medium smells mildewy. If I don't repot it now, will the plant die because of the mold? Please advise, I'm a newbie with orchids!
Thanks!
It looks like sphagnum moss, but it's kinda funky looking, there may be some bark in there.

Help! I bought my orchid last October in full bloom. How can I make it bloom again? Note: I have already cut the stems most of the way after the blooms were done. Is there any orchid enthusiast who can help? Thanks!

I have a beautiful 2 stemmed orchid that kept it's blooms for about 3 1/2 months. The last 3 blooms are getting reasy to fall off and I want to know what you are supposed to do to the stems in order for the orchid to rebloom next season. I have a book on orchids and it says trim the stems but it is VERY vague as to what part of the stem or how much. I lost 3 orchids 3 years ago after I moved into my new home, I bought them to put in the home and bought the boook at the same time. They were beautiful for a long time, but they have not bloomed since the first year I had them. Can anyone help me out? I hate to lose this one, it was not a bit cheap.
