Is Phalaenopsis suitable for deep or shallow pots?

Phalaenopsis orchid deep or shallow pot

Phalaenopsis is more suitable for maintenance in shallow pots, with a depth of about 10 cm, because the plant requires the soil to have good air permeability and drainage. If the pot is too deep, water accumulation is likely to occur.

Generally speaking, ceramic pots and orchid pots are most suitable for growing Phalaenopsis. These pots can meet the growth needs of the plants and are not very expensive.

How to repot Phalaenopsis

1. Phalaenopsis repotting time

The best time to repot Phalaenopsis is in late spring or early summer, when the new roots of the plant have not yet grown and the temperature is stable at around 20°C, which minimizes damage to the plant.

2. Watering after repotting Phalaenopsis

Do not water the Phalaenopsis immediately after repotting. It is usually placed in a place with scattered light for a week, and then watered by spraying until water flows out from the bottom.

3. Things to note when repotting Phalaenopsis

(1) Prepare potting soil: When preparing potting soil for Phalaenopsis, you can use leaf mold, peat soil, leaves, organic fertilizer, etc.

(2) Remove the plant from the pot: First, water the old pot of the Phalaenopsis orchid plenty of water. This will help the plant to separate from the old pot better and reduce damage to the root system.

(3) Potting and maintenance: Put the treated Phalaenopsis back into the pot, and then wait for the plant to fully grow before giving it water and light.
