Roberta and Ray: You two are the best. I have learned so much. Another small question for Ray about semi hydro. A few of my orchids seem healthy but I don't see the roots on the sides of my pots..all 3 to 4 inches. Is it safe to put repot them in another the same size just to check out the roots?
And for both of you and others that own phals, I have two new leaves, one on a rescue and the other older plant is still blooming. Both of the new leaves have a reddish tent Is that healthy? The plants seem health other wise. Most of my non blooming are rescues that I bought that way. a few had only two or three flowers, and were not great when I bought them last year. The Dtps I previously wrote about seem better in my warmer location and the severly misshapen leaf is turning yellow and will in a month or two drop like some of my other non bloomer minis. The misshapen one is called Big Red Robe, and when I looked for it, it has beautiful flowers in different indexes.

Unless you are sloppy and break a lot of roots, the issue for plants with repotting is a change in the root environment. S/H to S/H is no change at all.

Go for it!
