I recently bought two mini-orchids and would like to know how to care for them. After they'd flowered I got some orchid compost that had a lot of bark in it, gently took them out of their pots, removed some of the compost, snipped off the withered roots, then re-potted them in the same sized pots. There were a lot of new roots at the base of the plant but I didn't disturb them. All I did was to gently push them down, filled any spaces with more compost, then gave them some water. I don't know if I've done it right as a couple of upper roots are shrivelling.
