How to repot orchids: What time and soil are best for growing them?

1. Methods

1. It is best to change the pot on a sunny day. First remove the pot. If it is planted in granular soil, you can turn it and the flowerpot upside down, pinch the roots of the plant with your hands, and tap the flowerpot to easily separate it.

2. Prune the roots appropriately. Cut off the old black roots so that it can better absorb nutrients. Be careful not to damage its new roots.

3. Prune its bulbs moderately. Cut off some rotten and empty bulbs in time. During the pruning process, be sure to protect the tender buds of the plant and avoid damaging them.

4. When choosing a pot, try to choose a suitable one based on its type, number of plants, and their health. Generally, we usually choose larger and deeper flower pots.

5. Finally, we can use our hands to straighten the plant. Place it in a semi-shaded and ventilated place and water the roots thoroughly.

2. What time

Generally speaking, you can repot the plants at any time of the year. Traditional repotting is best done during the spring equinox or autumnal equinox, as these two seasons are the most suitable.

3. Which soil is best?

It is best to choose loose and breathable soil. You can add some humus with rotten leaves, and you can also choose to add some foam plastic materials.
