Transparent pot

[gabiborza]

Hi again. I have one question for you. I' ve bought a Phal 2 months ago, in an opaque plastic pot. Ever since I got it I wanted to repot it in a transparent one, so that I could easily see the entire root system, but those are very hard to find here. I recently visitied a garden center which had some pots from the orchids that died, so they gave me some pots. Today I decided to move the plant into a new pot, transparent. So I cut the bottom of the pot, then cut the sides and gently put it in the new pot, then taking out the pieces of the old pot. The plant has sooo many healthy green roots, which I haven't disturbed, since I never removed the potting medium. I was wondering, since my phal is in bloom, with all of the flowers opened for 2 months, will this affect the plant and cause it to loose the flowers? Thanks for any advises. Gabi Borza.
