Purple leaves

Excuse me while I update my orchid list

Hollylee,
Perhaps it's best to wait. I'm just a little jumpy cause I lost my favorite phal to root rot because I waited till the blooms went by. You actually have a clear pot, so perhaps you can see the roots?
I have repotted in bloom before and it's a huge chore, but it can be done. However, you may or may not lose some blooms. I don't want to make that happen for you. Just be careful it doesn't stay too wet and you should be fine. Again, I wasn't thinking at the difficulty, but about my loss. Sorry!
Tut tut, carry on!

I repotted them both, I found out the snapper had a few different little bugs on it and i painstakingly cleaned the phal as best as I could.

The potting on it was bizzare, it was new moss wrapped around what looked to be a potted 4" potting job and then put into the 6" pot. It was SOAKING wet. The roots look really really good though. They are both happy and in their bark.

Thanks so much for the advice!

most orchid flowers with strong red tint have red tint under their foliage too. the stronger the tint the redder it gets under the foliage.
