Repot a phal with spike ok?

[fluffylily]

Is it ok for me to pot up a phal in S/H right now even though it is growing a spike? It has many new root growths, almost all root tips are growing at the moment. The spike is about 1 inch long. Thanks.

I've repotted a few phals in spike - still growing out the spike and wouldn't do it again. It stunts the spike giving you less flowers

Boo...that's not good...maybe I'll wait then.

Ive repotted phals into S/H both in bloom and with spike, and they doesent seem to be bothered by the transfer at all...
But, ive also repotted a cambria-mix, with no spike or flowers, but with good root-growing, and it did struggle a bit. I placed it outside, and that seemed to be the tric with this one! The two psevdobulbs that it was growing before the swithc to S/H perked right up, and looks better now than all the others, and the roots are growing like crazy after i put it outside

I belive the "secret" about transferring into S/H, is the conditions your chids are used to before the repot....
Mine where used to pretty wet medium, as i am a heavy waterer... Therefor this was a repot into something better for my chids, the same wet medium, but better air to the roots! The Cambria was used to dryer conditions, and i belive thats why it was struggeling in the beginning.
