Repotting and the roots on top of soil? Female
Default Repotting and the roots on top of soil?

Well this makes post number three and I'm sure it's one of my dumber questions to date, I know there's not supposed to be any dumb questions but I have them, believe me

All three of the orchids I just bought have roots all over the top of the soil. They are all in 6" plastic pots and still seem to be happy after 48 hours with a notorious orchid murderer

I am wondering if these should be repotted after they finish blooming and if the roots on top should be buried below the soil line in a new pot or left on top of the soil (orchid mix)? Also, if I do need to repot would I go up to a 7" or 8" pot? Two of the three plants are dendrobium nobiles and the third is a cym.

Thank you all for your help. I have read a lot of threads but a lot of what I am reading is greek to me, you guys have your own wonderful orchid language and although I am trying to learn it I need a botanical dictionary beside me which I don't happen to have

for any help you can give to this newbie

Best wishes,
Jerri
