Repotting
Repot your plant orchid every year or two.
Over time, your orchid’s potting medium can be changed out. We like doing this about two years after you've had the plant, when the potting medium starts to decompose. Repotting is best done in the spring or in cooler months, immediately after flowering. You can repot in the same container or get one that's 1/2" to 1" larger in diameter.
To repot, remove all old medium from the roots, trim off rotted roots and spread the remaining roots over a handful of medium in a pot. We recommend a product sold as a medium orchid bark or a peat-based mix (not garden soil). Our mix is usually a combination of the two, with a mossy inside to retain water and a bark exterior to drain water. Then fill the rest of the plastic growing container with the medium, gently working in so that there aren’t any big air holes. Keep roots fairly tight. Wait one to three days before watering.
