To repot or not to repot

[gerneveyn]

I was going to repot this phal into s/h over the holidays. It has new root growth which would help it adjust to the new medium. I don't really have a good reason to repot it though because the medium is okay and the plant is healthy. Would you repot it or not?

[Ross]

I, personally would NOT repot. I would cut the spikes back to next viable bud and leave it alone. Doesn't look like it has overgrown its pot. What's the condition of the medium? Is it waterlogged?

[gerneveyn]

The medium is coconut chips with some perlite. There's some algae in the medium, but it's okay. The keiki on the left could probably be potted, but I think I'll leave it on for now.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I repot my Phals into S/H when I don't like the media it's currently in, or it got some sort of infestation. Otherwise, I leave it in the current media.

:iagree: Gin

Do you have any idea when it was last repotted. Usually it's best to leave them for awhile, unless the media is getting old. Phals like a well aerated situation, they grow on trees afterall.

Being only slightly biased, I would move it to s/h, and into a pot about twice the diameter of that one.

After that, I would expect the aerial roots to grow into the medium.
