Just finished blooming with 3 spikes, and its time to repot the plant. I want the same size pot, but i do not know what to do with all those roots to make them fit in the same size pot.
Don't know what kind of plant you have. Some do best when 'pot bound' meaning they like to have roots close together. If you have the name of the plant put it in a google search and check the info that comes up. It may be you will have to buy a larger pot or at least taller.
Here's a video that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSkEWB1-kYY
I cut, plant and water them
Orchid! Air plant! Loves an airy medium soil. Roots are actual airways. Do not but
orchids like to have roots out ...that Is a beauty of orchids
They like roots in air, as this is how orchids grow naturally.
Cut off the stem to about an inch. Don't cut the roots and leave them out of the soil. It probably doesn't need to be repotted. Now is the time to fertilize.
these roots are aerial roots and do not get put in dirt at all.Orchids do not grow in dirt. Orchid Society web site for all info. you need on Orchid care http://www.aos.org/orchids.aspx
