Anyway, there are as many media for orchids as there are orchid fanatics like us. Never hurts to try something new! Diana Repotting in Aliflor is easy. Pick the plant up. Check for dead, decay, mushy roots -- none found = Stick it in a pot and pour fresh aliflor in to fill it up. OH some stuck to the roots - no worry. The stuff is not rotting. IF you flush your pots well it is not full of chemicals or salts... it belongs to this plant just as if the plant were growing in the wild. Less disturbance of roots. My only problem has been with the summer cym breaking pots because the root ball became too large and too strong. Cym Golden Elf has broken out 3 times. They push up in the pot about 1-1.5 inches then they just split the plastic pots. Now when one is sitting a bit high I look for a split starting. Can not adequate water S/H if the pot is split.
