Phalaenopsis recovery time after repotting? Male
Default Phalaenopsis recovery time after repotting?

Hi everyone,
Let me first say that I am a proud Papa but I think the children are running scared. I am new to this forum and this is my first post. Let me tell you a little about my brief orchid growing history. I reside in Eastern Colorado and I am new to growing orchids. However, I do have a few different kinds: phalaenopsis, cattleyas and even what I think is an odontoglossum - purchased due to ignorance, I thought it was a cattleya. All of my orchids are simply grown in my house without any special environmentally controlled conditions. My cattleyas have never bloomed which I believe is due to their location. I do not think they were getting enough sunshine. I have since moved them to an east facing window where they seem to be doing much better based on their color and growth. Half of my phalaenopsis are recovering from my grand visions and experimentation. Surprisingly none have completely died. My odontoglossum, that’s better left for another thread but it seems to be doing well.
I have repotted five of my seven phalaenopsis. Of the five that have been repotted they are in various stages of life, from recovering from a near death experience to doing well. Some are in sphagnum and the ones that are recovering nicely are in a coarse phalaenopsis mix and getting ready to bloom from spikes growing off of the original spike. No new spikes are starting. The two that have been spared from repotting, they are in same pots as they were purchased in, are growing new spikes as well as blooming off the original spikes.
My question has to do with what to expect after repotting a phalaenopsis. Assuming that the repotting is done correctly, how long does it take them to recover?
