Coulden`t resist! i did it again!

[Keltera]

i brought home another phal, but not just an ordinary one! but a MINATURE! oh! its so cute and adorable!! (phal.Sogo Gotris 'Flora ark')

but i have some questions, its potted completly in moss and its roots are pale green to some being almost white. should i repot into another medium to help strengthen the roots and to keep from over watering?

[Singingirl96]

omg... that is so cute! Good purchase.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

I don't suggest growing it in moss. There's a good chance it won't dry out fast enough and get overwatered. Grow in large wood chips instead.

I'd repot because I always do! But at least these guys look healthy! What sort of medium do you usually use? If it is different from moss, I'd say repot. If you don't knwo the health of the center of the root mass, repot.

BTW-- awesome purchase-- very nice indeed! I have a small one, too-- not sure if it is mini or not-- but it is a little guy who's flowers never seem to stop! This is my mini-- flowers are about a inch-inch and a quarter wide...

[Keltera]

wow! i want purple blooms like that! they only seem to have solid purples here

[whygreenberg]

Nice little mini, Keltera! Very pretty! I'd say you should repot it into whatever medium you are most comfortable with. If you're using something that works for you, stick with it. Only you know your growing environment and watering habits.

i agree with 'Ivan'' but if you grow in spag; why not i pot it up as is in a clear plastic pot. that way you can keep tabs on the roots and moisture condition.

Really pretty, good choice

Both those little Phals are sooooo pretty and cute! oooh, I have a feeling this forum is going to be really bad for my bank account!

What a cutsie! And you were lucky that it was actually named too. I agree, repot it in whatever you like best, but get it out of that tightly packed sphag. It keeps way too much water.
