Pot Size Questions

[Polarizeme]

Wow... With the Restrepia, I wouldn't undo the root mass. Put it in a pot one size larger and add media around the roots. I usually put styrofoam peanuts in the bottom of the pot in the middle. It came out of a 2" pot? It looks like it would be fine in a 3" if you can get it in without damaging the roots. I'd personally go to a 4" pot for that one

You'd be surprised at how much new growth you can get off that old haggard looking growth. Just be patient, it will put our new growth given the opportunity. Repot it in a larger pot and let it be.
