repotting Brassalova Little Stars

[james mickelso]

I still think that if you let the plant dry out for long enough to let the velamin shrink it would be easier to carefully break the pot into small pieces which could then be carefully pulled out. I've done it quite a bit rescueing catts and laelias along with other thicker rooted orchids. I understood what you were implying about how the roots were wrapped both outside and inside the pot. I guess I didn't relate that very well either. Your dilemma is a tough one but at some point you will have to bite the proverbial orchid stem and do something. I'd love to come over to show you and help. But I have to work this weekend and I doubt if I could be there before dinner next week )-;
