repotting cattleya dowiana
 

:scratchhead: Greetings every one,

I have recently purchased a cattleya dowiniana aurea.
This morning I noticed new root growth on the largest
pseudobulb. It is in a plastic pot and I would like to
repot into a basket.Is this a good time or should I
wait till early spring.

First of all, welcome to the board (don't want to forget that!)

I would repot right now. The new roots mostly emerge from the new growths and you want those to settle into the new mix.

Welcome Gerard !!!!!! :waving :hello
Yes, now is an excellent time to repot. :goodluck:

If you are sure that you have new root growth, go for it! All 3 of my dowianas (2 large seedlings and 1 NBS) are in baskets and they seem to really like it.

Agree with the above. The ones I have seem to really enjoy basket life!!
