When is the right time to repot orchids?

Orchid repotting time

Generally, newly bought orchids need to be repotted because the quality of the purchased pots is relatively poor and there are not many drainage holes, so it is necessary to replace it with a pot that can drain water.

It is generally suitable to repot orchids in spring every year. The time for repotting can generally be chosen between March and May, and the weather should be suitable for repotting. Generally, sunny days are more suitable for repotting.

Orchid repotting methods and steps

1. Treatment before repotting

When repotting an orchid, you should first shake off the old soil, then properly trim its branches, leaves and roots, and then you can plant it.

2. Prepare the flower pot

When changing flower pots, you generally need to choose a suitable flower pot, preferably one with certain drainage holes at the bottom, so that the water can be discharged in time when watering, and the root rot will not occur.

3. Choose soil matrix

Generally, orchids do not have very high requirements for soil, so when repotting, you only need to choose fertile sandy soil with certain drainage capabilities.

4. Basin operation

When potting, you need to put some soil in the pot first, then place the orchid in the middle, and slowly cover it with soil until the roots are covered.
