Cody- You are being way too narrow minded. James isn't saying that it is better to cut off EVERY orchids large root system. He is saying in SOME instances it is necessary and can help the plant. Not every plant with a large root system has a GOOD root system. This is what I have been trying to get accross. Not EVERY orchid is the same when it comes to repotting. You are acting like we are telling every person that reads this to hack off all their orchids roots. I am not recommending that. I was only saying that it is not unheard of to take drastic measures sometimes in orchid culture like the German lady showed in the video.
As far as you destroying "absurd" information that has no truth to it so new people don't get mislead, how do you know there is no truth to this method? You are only going off of what you have learned and I bet you know a lot more about orchids than some people twice your age but being 16 I would say you still have a lot to learn. I mean people who have grown orchids for 35 years still are learning. I'm still learning. Open your mind and remember there is more than one way to do things in every aspect of the orchid world.
I really enjoy your enthusiasm in the world of orchids and I think you are a great asset to the orchid community. I wish more of the younger generations cared about orchids as much as you do!
