Repotting. Ugh.
Hello all,
I am taking some time to focus on repotting about a dozen orchids that need it. It is very onerous. Many of these plants are pot-bound and the two I just finished took hours.
Some of the orchids were easy to repot like my Brassavolas. This took maybe ten minutes for a few of them. The Brassavolas repottings did not prepare me for the horror show that was the soft cane Dendrobiums.
Two giant Yamamoto Dendrobiums I have took nearly four hours to repot as they were in degraded moss with roots wrapped around roots to make a solid mass of roots filling the pot. I had to carefully untie all the roots and carefully pick out bits of slimy old moss. At least the job is done and the remaining ones I don’t think will be as time consuming to repot.
