I never liked repotting orchids. This video has helped. I have 3 of what I call potting nightmares, 3 overgrown cattleyas in 4 inch pots that when divided will be about 8 plants. Unfortunately living in NW Ohio now is not the time to repot. Thank you for this video. I subscribed tonight and look forward to more helpful tips and tricks.
Hi Tim, thank you for subscribing and I’m glad this video helped your nightmares. Yes, the cold weather makes it hard to repot many plants but luckily some will go dormant and require less maintenance until Spring. We will cover more orchids and their specific care in the future.
Thank you! I’m glad the video helped and we’re glad to hear the dendro is thriving in your care. Also, thank you for stopping by our booth at the AIS show. We love to meet orchid people.
We use chunky bark, perlite and horticultural charcoal. You can find these ingredients pretty easy but if it is not available near you then come grab our mix from our shop.
Just loved this video. I will have strong confidence next time I must repot my Cattleya. I will not be afraid of the crunch. 😂
crunch away! Orchids like a more compact space so don’t be afraid.
Such good information!
Thanks, I’m glad you found it helpful!

What media do you use for repot? I can see charcoal… thanks for the video.
