Potting two plants in the same pot
I bought two Phals last year that came potted in the same pot. I decided to repot them again together but I’ve noticed they haven’t had a lot of growth since. When I got them they were in desperate plastic liners within the decorative pot. They were each in the half moon shaped pots so they fit. I repotted them right after the flowers died but I put them in the same round plastic pot instead of separate ones. They did some good root growth so they definitely need a bigger pot but there wasn’t much in the way of leaf growth.
I’ve attached a pic of the orchid. The other pic is from when I got it. As you can see, decent roots but tiny leaves and tiny flower spikes in its current state. Admittedly, the mini spikes are cute but this is supposed to be a full sized orchid. I’m going to be repotting them again soon. This is a 5” pot and I have an 8” that I was gonna put them in. They are the exact same orchid so they need, and get, all the same treatment and environment. I do want to keep them together because I think it looks cool, but should they be separate? If they can stay together, what do I need to be doing differently?
