It then took a further 20 mins to tease open the roots.

OMG I've never seen so many roots. I have no idea how on earth they were all packed in there so tightly.

There were very few rotten roots. I washed them gently. It is now re-potted in fresh bark and in a much more suitable sized pot and back on my window sill.

Am hoping the flowers don't drop.....

everyone

Was just watering my orchids and low and behold my lovely spotty phal that I re-potted a while back is spiking yet again...........

This phal is unreal. It has not stopped flowering since I got it back in aug 2011 - i know the date coz i bought it to remind me of my cat who died.
As i said I just performed a monster re-pot (as u can see from my earlier posts) as its was so pot bound and its still flowering and now its spiking again.

I love this phal!!!!!
