How to repot?
 

Hi, I have a store bought orchid that I need to repot. I would love to pot it in a cube glass vase you see many orchids in, would this be possible? Also do I need to cut any dried up roots? I have the orchid planter mix of tree bark and charcoal.

Thank you!

How would it breathe? How would the water drain away quickly?

I'm assuming that there are no drainage holes, of course.

I think it's a very bad idea.

You could do it, but be very careful with heat as it's in a close container and any heat in there will cook it. Good luck

Okay I will get another ceramic pot with holes if it is that important.
How about the root trimming?

Do you mean removing the roots that are rotten? Usually, I just pull those off. Healthy roots are best left untrimmed as cuts/broken roots can offer a pathway for fungus to attack the roots...which can lead to the roots rotting. If you break any roots and don't want to use a fungicide, pot it in dry medium (I use LECA or red lava rock) and let it sit for a day or two to let the roots heal. That is what I do so that I don't lose the roots after I re-pot.
Good luck!

Concerning the type of pot, it just depends on how you grow your orchid. You could use a glass vase if you have very warm temperatures, use a large medium (like red lava rock) that allows plenty of air around the roots and make certain all the water is dumped out after watering.
Most Phals grow clinging to rocks or trees in very hot, humid and breezy environments, hanging sideways or upside-down. After it rains, the roots and leaves dry very quickly but the air is always humid. There are no rules on how you accomplish replicating this environment for your orchid...it depends upon your conditions. If you have cooler temperatures, you really need a pot with holes or the roots will rot. If you have a warm environment (above 75'F), this isn't quite as important as the medium will dry faster.
Good luck!

It has roots on it that are out of the pot and mostly dry, do I just pull those off?
I looked into LECA and liked it, I ordered some to use and a ceramic pot with holes since my home is usually around 70. How often should I water? I have heard 1-3x a week, and also with a sprayer or by soaking in the sink.
