Repotting A Cattleya The Traditional Way - tips & tricks 

I just got a cattleya on a discounted shelf 1/2 price $13.76 with a beautiful pot. It seemed just a little dried out, so I snatched it up, hoping it wasn’t a mistake… the pot alone was worth the value… I was wondering about the pot and no inner pot in it…wasn’t going to repot it but I guess I should. This is my second cattleya , this new one was potted in this manner…great video, thank you so much❣️ Cindy from Houston, Texas USA

What an excellent repotting job... and it's going to love it in that holed terracotta, too.

Thanks for making this re-potting video, very useful especially wiring at the end! Have a great day!

Thank you for showing this! I'm actually in the need to report TWO of my Catts. Was contemplating on what to do but u hit the nail in the head with this Video so THANK u

hi!

Very interesting method on lifting the plant with the steak and the strings, I will have to remember that. Thank you for the video Rachel.

such a FANTASTIC re potting video :-) I really enjoyed it watching it and the beautiful clay holed pot is so WONDERFUL :-) you have done an INCREDIBLE repotting :-) thanks a million for sharing Rachel and sending you an abundance of love and heaps of happiness and Plant Power from Waterford to Wexford and have a MAGNIFICENT Tuesday ahead XXXXX <3

Thanks, Rachel, very good video... I didn't know about wiring cattleyas into their new pots, learned something new! Those new holey clay pots certainly lend themselves to just that. 🌱

thank you Rachael for such useful info, I am sure that I will be using all these great tips, especially the one to pull the leaning pseudobulbs into a mooe upright position!

Great video! Just the educational information I needed to correct my methods. My Catleyas and I ThankYou.

Nice job! Your cattleyas are all so beautifully grown, a sight for sore eyes!

Very nice repotting! I'm sure the plant will be thankful and grow well. it's so practical that this pot has all those holes, which make staking and holding the plant much easier.

Thank you so much for the tips especially about staking and tying up the pseudobulbs. 😁

this is really helpful..between danny, roger and you i have decided to smell my own catttleya..was planning to pot my first ever in a pot with holes this weekend..she is ready with her new root growth just right.. have no idea what i'm doing and really needed this.. thank you much..

What a beautiful repot! Going to reward you some besutiful flowers!

Rachael, thank you, thank you, thank you! I love your repotting methodology, and the clear instructions and filming. JUst in time, as I confront the same situation with Percivaliana now with second bloom direct from leaf, plus a sheath with shadow. it is climbing outside the pot now but Iwill wait till third bloom appears and proceed exactly like you, as I have many pseudo bulbs at uneven height at bark level. Encouraged, yesterday I bought a huge NOID cattleya, with tons of healthy green roots hanging over its clay pot edge, plus two huge sheaths. only trouble is I am going away for 6 weeks to Trinidad, but thankfully, my garden center agreed to keep and care for my 5 cattleyas, 4 phals in spike, and my flowering vanda! AFter I return I will have to tackly this new one too, while these new roots form. I look forward to seeing your wonderful vids.

A very informative video and your cattleya looks great in its new pot

Excellent tutorial. Thanks

Thanks for this wonderful video! I also have a George King ‘Serendipity’--it’s my favorite! Your tip with the wire to hold it down is genius! I will try this next time I repot.

Very informative video. I'm still new to Orchids so I'll be sure to save this video in a playlist for later use. He looks lovely in his new pot. I hope to get a Cattleya this year. I've only ever grow Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium. Thanks for sharing! Many blessings! -Jason
