How to repot Phalaenopsis

1. Remove the plant from the pot

If you want to repot it, stop watering it a few days in advance and take out the Phalaenopsis with your hands or a shovel. When removing the plant from the pot, you should loosen the soil first and then slowly take it out, making sure not to damage its roots.

2. Prune bad roots

After cleaning the old soil, use sterilized scissors to trim away rotten roots. During the cultivation process, its roots will die due to improper maintenance methods. Generally speaking, you only need to prune off the brown roots, which are mostly dead roots. Some roots that grow too long also need to be cut off.

3. Prepare a new pot

Prepare a large flower pot in advance. It is best not to use an old pot to avoid germs inside. Place broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then fill the pot with breathable soil.

4. Repotting

It is best to disinfect the roots before potting, then plant it in new potting soil, let its roots stretch in the soil, and then cover it with prepared soil. After potting, place it in a well-ventilated location. Before it adapts to the new environment, spray some water on it appropriately to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Wait a few days and it will resume normal growth.
