When is the best time to repot Cymbidium?

Cymbidium repotting time

Generally, newly purchased Cymbidium orchids need to be repotted, because the flower pots used on the market are very small, and there is no space after the Cymbidium orchid has grown for a period of time, so it needs to be replaced with a larger flower pot.

It is more suitable to repot Cymbidium in spring every year, which is approximately between March and April. In addition, when repotting, you must first choose a suitable growing environment for it, preferably with sufficient light, which can help it resume growth.
