In today's episode, I'm going to share how I repot this phalaenopsis orchid with a long stem.
This rescue orchid recently came into my care and now I gotta figure out what to do with this plant. It's been growing out the pot for a long time now and the top of the orchid now looks very top heavy. I'll share how I repotted this orchid and the thought process behind what I am doing.

Thank you for mentioning how the root system will eventually adapt! I was worried that my orchid only had the aerial roots but now I'm glad that's nothing to worry about 💛

Thank you for the video! It is very informative. And I’m going to try this on my very old orchid 🤞❤

I think the cat is trying to figure out who she's talking to😂

@suzisaintjames 22 дня назад

As dehydrated as it was, before repotting, I'm surprised you didn't turn the plant upsidedown and soak the leaves for 20 minutes or so.

@bengilliland1074 Год назад

Thank you!!! Amazing teacher!

@anndriggers6660 10 месяцев назад

Your cat is absolutely precious! I love the idea of you allowing him to be part of your videos. It would be nice to see an update of this plant if you're still posting videos. I'm curious to see how it fared. Great video! Thank you for sharing!

What medium did you use .lava rock is my plants grow in.

@katherinelee9600 Год назад

Can you make a video about repotting orchids with healthy long stems, do you always cut the story and how you treat/seal it?

@AttainableGreen Год назад

I will have to find an orchid that meets your conditions. Basically, you can repot it without cutting off the roots and put it in a pot that fits the root size. Thanks for the suggestion 😁

@josejkoonthanam 3 года назад

Well done. I thought the bottom part will put in a keiki for you. Any how it is like half empty half filled. So the top part will cheer you up in the near future.

@AttainableGreen 3 года назад

Yea, if the bottom half had any green, it woulds probably keiki. In this case, there’s no life left in the bottom half. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😀

@bakerteacher2905 3 месяца назад

would have liked to know more about the medium.

nice cat🐱

@quelsplace5956 10 месяцев назад

Hi, just found your channel! Do you have an update video for this plant?

@nicoleperron3315 10 месяцев назад

Just found this except mine has healthier leaves and not all my roots are dead. So I repotted the whole thing in a four inch pot but there's still alot sticking out. Now the 5 inch pots I ordered are stuck at customs so they may never get here..... I got my 6 inch pots and I've been looking at them. Is 6 inch too big if most of the roots are viable ? And most of the videos say to never put aireal roots in the pot but I'd like to put about half in there. Is that a bad idea? They say they won't adapt to the soil.

@orchidsbythelake 3 года назад

Well done! I would do the same!

@AttainableGreen 3 года назад

Thanks! Great minds think alike 😁

@katieernst7166 День назад

I thought orchid roots were supposed to have air exposure and that plastic pot looks solid?

@solarwinds- 6 месяцев назад

HELP! What do I do? My Phal has a very long, green, alive stem with viable roots all the way up and down the stem. I fear her roots may not be able to reach the medium some day. She has 20 leaves and she had 7 flower spikes last year and I ended up cutting off the 8th one because she was blooming herself into oblivion (That's enough sugar! Stop blooming!) Help with the stem please. What a cute cat.
