Don’t be in a rush to repot; this should take place about every 2 years when the pseudobulbs have reached the rim of the container.

Repotting

Spring is the recommended time. The new pot should not be much larger than the old one and you will need to buy special orchid compost. This will be a bark mix, a rockwool mix, or sphagnum peat plus perlite. Gently pull the plant out of its pot, and cut away any damaged roots. Pot up in the usual way, taking care not to press the compost down too tightly. Lightly water from the top to settle the orchid into the new pot before returning it to its home; use tepid water.
