Orchids Repotting and Message Board

Repotting Orchids

Now is the time to start thinking about repotting your Orchids. For any Orchids that have finished blooming, the best time to repot is within the months following blooming. If you have a Phalaenopsis Orchid, every 1-2 years is good to repot. If you have a Dendrobium Orchid, Cattleya Orchid, Miltonia Orchid, or Cymbidium Orchid, the best time to repot is when you see a new growth.

Phalaenopsis Orchids in Many Colors

This photo has a good representation of the colors of Phalaenopsis Orchids you will find for sale. Interestingly, I find the longest blooming types, on one flower stem, are the spotted pink and yellow Phalaenopsis Orchids.

The pink and white flower Phalaenopsis Orchids with long flower spikes can bloom for a long time, but it usually is necessary, after flowering is done, to cut the flower spike just below the top node.

Some of my favorite Phalaenopsis Orchids are those with very thick, waxy substance, as I’ve found those individual flowers to be the longest blooming. More coming tomorrow evening about Phalaenopsis Orchids…
