Hello and questions about repotting Female
Default Hello and questions about repotting

Hello,
I am a lurker who finally has taken the plunge! *I live in the Pacific Northwest and am a windowsill grower with aspirations of a small leanto greenhouse...one day...

I have a collection of about 20 phals and paphs and a couple cymbidiums and phrags. *My oldest orchid is about 3 years old.

I am hoping someone can help me with a repotting question. This spring was the first time I braved repotting - I was super nervous about it, but my orchids, especially the oldest clearly needed it. So, I repotted and everyone seems pretty happy: lots of new leaf growth. Here is the lead up to my question: there was one paph (a mottled leaf type) that was in bloom until just last week, and I didnt repot it with all the others. Plus, I just bought two new phals from a local nursery (one large flowering, one multiflora), which are in moss (I decided to repot all of my orchids into a well draining bark mix as I have a tendency to, well, smother my orchids with kindness in our drab winter months). I am wondering if I should repot them now, or wait until next spring? I would say the growing season here in PNW is on the downward side, which is why I am hesitating. I am hoping someone with more experience can give me some guidance?

Many thanks in advance, and I hope this post wasnt too mind-numbingly detailed for an intro post!
