Repot when growing seed pod
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi guys...:hello

I fall in love into orchids when my partner bought me a phal for my birthday last Dec 09. Then I bought few more. I pollinated them on 8 Jan 2010. And it seems working!!! Seed pods are growing (as pictured). That are seed pods, aren't they?:dumb:

I want to repot them, to give better and fresh energy for further growth. Is it okay to repot while the plants grow seed pods?

Thank you!!!:)

Yes, those are developing seed pods. They can take up to a year to mature on a Phalaenopsis.

I don't recommend repotting them, the seed pods may drop.

Thanks for that....:thanx:

So, does it mean I can't do anything (ie not repot but cut different spike to boost more flowering?) to these plants until the pods are mature?

Thanks hips!!!:waving

Making seed takes energy. Recovering from repotting can take energy as well. Phals are pretty tough and can take a little stress, just don't overdo it.
