Did I mess up repotting this Phalaenopsis?
Default Did I mess up repotting this Phalaenopsis?

Hi everybody,

I just tried my hand at reporting my phals after much reading and watching many videos on the topic. I bought a 7" pot because it seemed so big, but after trimming the dead roots I realized that the 7" was much too big. I then had to opt for a smaller pot that I had on hand.

Now some of the roots that had been inside the media are on the outside. Is that okay or should I repot again once I get an appropriately sized pot?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Best,
-Jenna

The pots are appropriately sized for the plants. Most of my Phalaenopsis have a significant number of roots outside the pot.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm relieved to hear this and glad I didn't go for the bigger pot.
