The Basics of Replanting (Repoting) Orchids

Date Posted : June 12, 2006  
 
It's time to repot your orchids if you notice the following:

1. The orchid has outgrown its container

2. The potting mixture does not dry out within
   a  week

3. The foliage is now turning yellow

If you see these signs then its time to replant your orchids and here's how.

1. First, you must select a pot that will
    accommodate your plant and one that will
    allow new growth.

    Then fill it with about a third  full of orchid
    bark.

2. Soak the orchids plant together with the original pot in water and then drain.

   Gently tap the side of the pot to loosen and allow the plant to slide out. If the plant doesn't come
   out easily you have to break the container to remove it.

3. Gently pull apart the roots and remove the old potting mix.

    Healthy roots are white and firm with light green growing tips. Dead roots are soft and brown.

    Use a pair of bypass pruners to trim dead or damaged roots.

4. Place the orchids plant in the new container and secure by filling the remaining two-thirds of the
    container with bark.

    Roots should be level with, or 1/2 inch below, the rim of the new container. Top with a
    decorative soil cover, such as moss.

5. Secure the orchids plant with a stake and twine. Water the plant and let it drain thoroughly.

    This will allow the bark to settle into the new container.
