Repotting Miltoniopsis
I am thinking my Miltoniopsis needs a bigger pot. I know I don't want to over pot it but it is getting big and full. If it is not in the cashe pot, it's top heavy. I do not want to divide this plant.
This was my first orchid, ever. I've had it since last July and it was full of blooms, just beautiful. After the blooms fell I repotted it in fresh bark mix. I sterilized the pot and reused it. The plant came in a potting mixture and it was quite a job to remove it all from the roots. The roots were beautiful and healthy I just wanted the plant out of that mix. I grow this in my kitchen area, it spends most of the day in a southern exposure sitting on the counter. I flush water each week and give it a soak as well. I spray mist the top bark every day, weak fertilizer each week.
The plastic pot it is in is 4 1/2", roots poking out of every slot. This is the only Miltoniopsis I have and I'm curious as to what others use to pot their Miltoniopsis in? Not sure if I want a bigger plastic/clear pot or maybe go with a clay pot? It has certainly grown well and I hope it will bloom for me this year.
Here are a couple of pics from last July when I received the plant and today.
