REPOTTING ROOTS
I wish to repot some orchids that have been in open hanging wooden
baskets. The roots (Whitish thin roundish things) have grasped the slats of the planters. Other than cutting these roots free is there a simple way to seperate the entangled roots from their attachements? HELP PLEASE!!! Bob |

REPOTTING ROOTS
There will be some damage, no matter what you do, but if find that removing
the wires that hold the basket corners together, then soaking the entire thing in warmish water for several hours tends to loosen things up a bit. After that, it's just a matter of gentle persistence. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info!
