potting/repotting neofinetia

[Marlena]

I bought a neofinetia that was planted in a 4" pot, with a fairly compact amount of sphagnum moss. From what I have read and the size of the plant, this seems wrong to me and I am seriously considering repotting it to a much smaller pot, at a slight slant with a lot less moss. Any help appreciated, as I am new to this type of orchid. Thanks!

I'm not a Neofinetia expert, but there is a very large number of threads on Neofinetia care here on Orchid Board. I suggest you use the Search feature in the top maroon menu bar. I know a great many people do grow them in sphagnum moss, but there are tricks one needs to learn.

I grow mine in small clay pots with bark. You can pot them up with what works best for your environment and watering style. I hope others will chime in for you.

It sounds like you want to pot up in the Japanese method. If so, there are videos on youtube:

Thank you all, I did go and see the videos and they were really helpful.

I stuck mine onto a mount. So far it hasn't grown much this summer, but it has put out two long roots.

That sounds good. I am not ready for mounted plants yet. I am hoping to be next year. I have a new set up for them all and I want to see how that works over the winter before I do mounting.
