The Orchid Doctor – How to Replant an Orchid Part 1 – orchidmania south florida

You forgot to mention that even if the plant is not growing out of the pot, it needs to be repotted at least every two years so the mix doesn’t break down too badly and start to rot the roots like what has happened to the plant shown in this video. It’s nice to see how mass growers repot their plants though, because it takes me hours to very gently remove all the old mix etc, but I have too many orchids now to spend that much time repotting. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for pointing out an important piece of information. As you mentioned, you may need to re-pot an orchid because the mix has begun to breakdown. Remember that if you grow them outside, or they get watered too often, it is best to use lava, or aliflor and no woodchips so they don’t rot. An added benefit to using just rocks is that they don’t breakdown as quick, and you don’t disturb the roots, something that is inevitable during the repotting process. – The Orchid Doctor
