OK. Can you tell me how to repot? I've repotted many other plants
but never an orchid. I assume I can buy special medium at my garden
store and also assume I should go to an 8" pot. Do I cover the
roots? Do I remove the old medium?
Basically - help!
Yes, you can buy the medium at the garden center. Don't assume you need
a bigger pot until you look at the roots. Remove the plant from its
current pot, remove as much of the medium as you can comfortably remove,
and examine the roots. Remove any roots that are mushy. After that,
pick a pot that fits the roots comfortably. Don't overpot though, that
is really bad. Place the roots in the pot, fill with new medium, squish
it in a bit to remove the voids (don't press too hard), and you are done!
