Newbie Question on Re-Potting New Purchases
Default

I generally try to repot immediately, as I have been burned many times in the past when a seemingly healthy plant (that I assume would remain healthy under its original conditions) then suffers root rot in my conditions. (note: my former conditions were windowsill, which is not the most optimal place for many orchids).

Exceptions are some plants in bloom, which get repotted soon after, and certain orchids which typically cannot be repotted safely unless in active growth. (i.e. bifoliate catts). best case, a healthy plant gets put in my conditions, and remains that way. after all, we are really growing plants for their roots, as everything else follows the health of the root sytem.
