Why Repot? (1/4)

1. New orchid
2. Starting new growth
3. Roots are climbing outside of the pot
4. Media is broken down
5. Lots of bugs
6. Sick plant

If the roots have a light green tip, then this is an indication that the plant is healthy.

• Change the media, but don’t overpot because it will grow more plants and push out flowers.
• Don’t break roots.
• Provide moisture to stabilize plant

Tree Fern, Lava Rock, Sphagnum Moss, Osmunda, Rock Wool, and Fir Bark are growing media for orchids. They each have interesting textures and colors.

Never give fertilizer to sick or dry plant. Don’t give Urea nitrogen.
