Repotting my Phal
 
5 Attachment(s)
One of my Phals that finished blooming was in need of repotting. Talk about healthy roots!
I went from a 4" to a 6" pot. Hope it remains as healthy as it is now. I wish all my Phals had a root system like this...

It looks like what ever you're doing is working great. Good growing.

That is neatly done. I see that even with a 6" your plant is still compactly repotted...very good example. I will recommend your thread to anyone who wishes to learn how to repot a Phal.

Thanks Tucker,
I took your advise and got a quart of liquid seaweed and sprayed it on the roots media and leaves after repotting. My patio smells like the beach for a few minutes after using it. LOL

Bud, Thanks.
As I said I wish all my phals looked half as healthy as that one does, when I remove them from the pot to replant.

I should clarify myself tucker.
I meant to say I bought a quart of liquid seaweed and mixed 1 ounce to a gallon of water,and than sprayed the roots,medium and leaves.
I can see where someone might think I sprayed an entire undiluted quart of the seaweed on the plant.
That would certainly not be a good thing.
