If the current planter is 4 inches across, move the orchid into a 6 inch orchid pot. Since the plant is big and heavy, put a few marbles or stones in the bottom of the new pot to act as weights for...

I use a drill bit and a battery drill.

Myself, I don't want my orchids in black pots. They tend to heat the soil and they don't allow any light to get through for the roots.

Green Beginner Re-Pot

After months of beautiful flowers, my phals are dropping their flowers, so I am re-potting. This is what I am learning:

I'm not convinced that repotting phals in bloom will harm the blooms.

Of course, I don't do it, just to be safe, but I did immediately repot a mini as soon as I got it home because it really...

Multiple Spikes

If a Phal puts up two or more spikes, is that likely to be genetic for that plant?

The question is: when I select a plant to buy, if I take the one with two or three flower spikes, is that one...

I'm thinking that maybe, in the future, before I buy, I should lift the plastic liner out of the pot and look at the roots.

I knew to check and see if the orchid is firmly rooted.

Although, I...

Do you boil or sterilize this fertilizer tea in any way? If not, I wouldn't put it on orchids. Orchids can be persnickety about conditions, so I wouldn't stray too far from the tried and true.
