NICE PROBLEM!
Better thriving than dying!!
I'm a newbie on this forum so here is my amateur 2 cents...
I just had a huge Shary Baby to divide up and repot.
My dendrobiums went crazy..had to divide and repot
My Epidendrum grew tall and leggy due to my lack of great sun so I divided that up into 3 pots
Ones that you can divide up you should and repot with fresh mix.
Keep in mind I think except for Phalaenopsis most orchids in spike or bloom should not be repotted till the are done.
This would be a good time to explore various mixes and systems like SH etc...Myself, I'm an old school guy for now and so just mixed up a bark, charcoal, perlite chunk mix for repotting. For some I think like to stay a little more moist vs total drying out I included some chopped up sphagnum moss in the mix. But this is my personal experiment, may one here have much more years experience.
I also bought clear orchid pots from Repot company off amazon so not only can I watch the root growth but also provide more air circulation to the roots.
I'm trying to get my friends interested in starting an orchid hobby so I can off load some of my divisions of duplicates and triplicates !!!
Warning...advice from a newbie!!
