Repotting orchids, everything you need to know to keep them healthy and flowering (my method)
This video will take you step by step through the orchid repotting process. I'll show you why orchids need lots of air at their roots, how to select the right size of pot, and discuss the best orchid media for potting. You will see me analyze the roots, and trim off any that are bad. Then I will report the orchid and you can observe every step of the process.
I have been using this method for repotting orchids for 20 years, with thousands of orchids - it never fails me. It is easy to learn, and easy to follow. Use this method and you will no longer lose and orchid.
Orchids should be repotted every two years. If this is not done, the media breaks down, holds too much water and roots start to rot. If you have hard water, repotting also reduces the amount of salts in the media - something that is harmful to orchid roots.
Orchids are so easy to grow - learn to enjoy them. For more information about Orchid Care, have a look at this post: http://www.gardenfundamentals.com/orchid-care/
