ORCHID POTS AND SAUCER ADVICE.

For orchids grown in pots we must be extra careful not to rot or smother the roots. Because obtaining a good moisture balance is so very critical to optimal orchid care many orchid growers choose clear orchid pots so that it is easier to see when the roots are thriving and when they are not.

       How do you know when to repot an orchid:

  1. Your orchid has tightly tangled roots. It's normal for Phalaenopsis orchids to have loosely tangled roots. ...
  2. It's been a while since you've repotted. Orchids need fresh potting mix every year or so. ...
  3. Your orchid's roots are soft and brown.
