Why Repotting Matters

Every thriving orchid reaches a point where it needs room to grow. Repotting becomes essential when they outgrow their containers, require division, or need new accommodations for expanding roots. Even newly acquired orchids may benefit from repotting if their current growing medium isn’t suitable or has degraded.

How to Repot an Orchid: A Step-by-Step Guide

When to Repot

• Repot newly purchased orchids or when roots become overcrowded, damaged, or tangled.
• If roots are squishy or brown, it’s time to repot.
• Generally, repot orchids every 1-3 years.
• Repotting refreshes the root system, providing fresh nutrients and better air circulation.

Preparation

1. Timing: Repot after flowering when new growth appears. Avoid repotting while the orchid is in bloom.
2. Watering: Water the orchid well a day before repotting.
3. Soaking: Soak the potting medium for several hours or overnight.
   • Use a 50/50 mix of bark and sphagnum moss.
   • For more water retention, use extra moss.
   • For a drier mix, use less moss.
4. Sanitizing Tools: Mist tools with hydrogen peroxide to prevent disease spread.

Repotting Process

1. Remove the Orchid:
   • Gently take the orchid out of its current pot.
   • If pot-bound, use a serrated knife around the edges to loosen the roots.
2. Clean the Roots:
   • Carefully remove old potting medium from the roots.
   • Trim any squishy, brown, or damaged roots completely.
3. Treat for Infection:
   • Lightly spray hydrogen peroxide on infected areas, wounds, fresh cuts, or damaged leaves.
   • Avoid excessive contact with healthy roots.
   • A little frothing is normal.
4. Repot the Orchid:
   • Place the orchid into the new container.
   • Add the prepared potting mix around the roots, ensuring they are not bunched together.
   • There should be enough media so the plant remains secure when picked up by the leaves.

Aftercare

• Return the orchid to its usual location.
• Water and feed as normal.
• If mold appears on the surface of the potting media, lightly spray with hydrogen peroxide.

Following these steps will help ensure a healthy, thriving orchid that will rebloom beautifully!
