Zygo repotting Male
Default Zygo repotting

Hey All.

OK I got a NOID zygo that is just about done blooming, and I have a lot of repotting questions.

1. I still have one new growth that has not matured, that is a little bit shorter than all other mature or flowered growth. Should I wait until this growth either matures or spikes, or since other growths spiked already, that growth won't flower.

2. It is potted in a heavy peat moss soil with some bark, I am planning on cutting back on the peat significantly to be mostly fir bark, and sphagnum. I also do have a large orcheada bark. We have hot summers here and I want a retentive mix, but not as much peat as they have it in now. I know roots are sensitive, so should I get as much off without handling the roots much or should I get most of it off. and risk damaging roots. Also thinking on ditching the peat and adding some rockwool in the mix.

3. I know you want new root growth when repotting, when is this exactly for zygos, once shoots starts, after a few inches or after it matured, or right after blooming.

Sorry about all these questions but all answers that I found on the web were very general and wasn't very specific.
