Knowing a little about the hybrid, you have a St. Bernard puppy... When you repot, that scoria looks like an excellent medium. You don't have to remove any, just pop the whole thing into a bigger pot. Clay might be good, for the weight - it's going to be top-heavy.

Yes, that is one thing I love about Odoms, they pot cattleya in this beautiful silver scoria. The shipments are super heavy as a result but it makes repotting so much easier. I have black scoria ready to add (super cheap and abundant in my area) and will go out to get some clay bulb pots today. Might as well go 10". Thanks again for the guidance

It would be unfair to Odom's for me to not also mention that I received this Cattleya Skinneri 'Carpentaria' FCC/AOS with four growths in the same shipment.

Odom's moves up into my number 2 spot amongst orchid vendors (SVO, Odoms, Carmelas, Hauserman, Andy's).

Done! Excited to watch this fill out over the next couple years Thanks again.

Here is a cool, and for the time being, little plant, Cishwenfia Pusilla. Had this one about 6 months and its taking off.

12 new growths, two flowering spikes, two budded spikes, two new emerging spikes, tons of new roots, all at the same time. Super easy grower. Just keep it wet and warm.
