DIY: How to Repot Orchid Plants
Have you ever wondered how to repot orchid plants from those boring grow pots to something more presentable? Well this is the video tutorial for you!
Here’s a quick step by step guide to get started:
What you’ll need:
-Orchids (we used Phalaenopsis)
-Pot with drainage hole
-Orchid bark chips (or small cedar bark chips)
-Horticultural grade charcoal
-Bamboo stakes
-Floral ‘bind wire’, raffia, wire or jute twine
-pruning shears
-
- Gently message out the roots from the sphagnum moss
-
- Fold in all the planting materials evenly
-
- Fill your pot approx. 1/3 of the way with the new potting mix
-
- Slowly & gently start arranging and fill the pot with your orchids & new potting medium
-
- When restaking the orchid spikes gently wrap the 'bind wire' a few times around before tying off (CAUTION: if tighten too tight stem will break!)
