Roots on new orchid
Probably too late because I already repotted yesterday, but I purchased a new orchid from the grocery store a couple of weeks ago. It was packed in moss with a plug in the middle and took me a long time to free all of the moss from the roots, even after soaking. The roots were beautiful, I thought. Many, many green lush roots, some yellow but firm. I barely had to cut any dead parts away. My question after seeing a repotting video, are the yellow roots okay to keep? Again, they seemed firm and robust and many had green farther down. I didn't cut them out when repotting but I saw one video where they cut all the yellow roots out. Because I just did this yesterday, I suppose I can repot it again, if I should have cut the yellow roots. Then I can leave it alone for a couple of years. I repotted it in bark and clay balls in a vented pot within a bigger plastic pot. Thought this would keep the moisture in more coming from moss. Thank you.
