I have a phal. It hasn't bloomed for about five or six months. It

noticed it was growing several new roots. The top of the pot looks
like a bowl of spaghetti. I was thinking it may need to be repotted
but now I see a flower spike is just starting.

It's in a 6" pot. I'm guessing I should leave it alone. Is that the
right approach?

Thanks

OK, now that I know I have to repot - or at least remove the plant and
look at the roots, I have another question:

I've noticed that all the orchids I've bought, regardless from where,
are in plastic pots.

Does that mean I should stick with the plastic? I have to say they
all seem to be doing quite well so I'd guess I should continue with
what's working, but just wanted to check.
