Cattleya trianae - new roots okay for repot? Male
Default Cattleya trianae - new roots okay for repot?

Hi all, my first 8 months into growing this species. It came from Ecuador last summer so am still not sure if it has adapted to northern hemisphere seasons, it grew all winter long.

Anyhow, new roots showing and I’d like to repot into bigger pot. Do I need to wait until other new roots form off the swelling eye growth or are these roots okay to carry it through the repot?

Thank you.

Waited too long. Repot when you see tiny nubs. It will be fine in that pot for a while, even if it starts crawling out.

Suggestion... put a tag in that pot with a date of a month or 6 weeks prior to today. Then next year, you will be able to repot, even if you don't yet see the new roots, in the confidence that the new roots will be along shortly, and will be able to nestle into their new "home" without any disruption at all. (The idea isn't mine... credit to Fred Clarke, who suggests that when you repot, put a date of a month or so prior to the current date rather than the date that you repotted, to get ahead of the plant the next time.)

Thanks Roberta. Sound advice as always! I’ll be doing that with all my orchids from now on since most will be transitioning back to clay pots from wood baskets (any new ones I’ve purchased are already in clay).
