How to repot an orchid (and not kill it)

How to repot an orchid (phalaenopsis orchid or moth orchid repotting)

This is an orchid in recovery. It is planted in tree bark. Bark decomposes fairly quickly. When it does, the particles become small and very fine, so they retain much more water than in the past, when they were large bark chips. Retaining water for too long can cause root rot. This is why it's even more imortant for orchids to repot them once a year. More important than other houseplants.

➡️You can see this plant has some soft, mushy roots, I cut them off. Whenever the outer layer of the roots can be easily pulled off, leaving only the middle string, that root is dead, cut it off. It spent too much time in water.
➡️Cut off all roots that are not firm and white, gray or green. Also cut off everything that looks completely dry and dead, like the remains of the last flower stalk
➡️Don't be afraid to cut, you won't harm the plant. Cutting roots will promote new root growth
➡️Repot in new tree bark
➡️Water under a faucet. Fill up the pot with water and drain it well.

Once you figure out the right placement for your orchid, in terms of light, they are one of the easiest plants. And are plants that you can pretty much water on a schedule.

Let me know if you are experiencing any problems :)

Looks like he’s cutting viable root tips then allowing water in the crown. Two big no no’s.

My Orchid leaves fell off what should I do to bring it looking green again

[daniellejaskulski]

First timer here. So can I repot it into the same pot it came in at the store? And is that a type of bark or do you use soil?

[MaggieMaTransforminie]

How often do you water your orchids that are potted in bark ? Mine are drying really fast!

[bratmari]

Mine rotted in bark but I was able to save it in just water. It's doing good. But we will see.

[joydaskruthiventi]

When does the orchid needs repotting after buying them from nursery..!!

[nataliehidalgo]

It would help for you to talk and explain why you are cutting the roots and how long you leave it in water.

I got a gift of orchids with flowers at one time. After the flower died, it never flowered again and then it died
