Phalaenopsis Schilleriana 2N which pot? Female
Default Phalaenopsis Schilleriana 2N which pot?

All my orchids are in the same style of pot as it makes watering easier for me. They're in glazed orchid pots with the cut designs, the ones I get locally don't burn the leaves or roots, so that's fine. I use a mix I do myself (slightly) of the bark/charcoal/perlite mixed with moss. I would put some peanuts in the bottom but the only ones we get at work are the ones that dissolve in water. Everyone seems very happy so that makes me happy!

I got a Phalaenopsis Schilleriana 2N, and in looking around I see many seem to be mounted or put in hanging baskets. I see they can be in pots and can either be staked or let the spikes flow down. With the real cold starting to come now that it's jan my humidity has been suffering a bit. So I do worry about putting something in a basket. Also when the plant gets rather large for it how would I do about re-potting? Would the roots adhere to the wooden slats? Would it be best to do it in a slightly larger basket and just keep it there forever, just carefully pulling the old moss out and replacing it without taking the plant out? Would it be better to keep it in a pot and let it kind of hang out or stake it up?

So I need people's opinion. I think it's in spike, so I won't re-pot like I normally do when I get new orchids if it has flowers/large buds. If everything looks great I'll leave it for now. If it's just a small spike with no buds yet I may re-pot it right away. Otherwise I'll wait until the blooms fade then do it then.
