root advice ASAP -- please
hello,
young phalaenopsis (being reRooted) 1 ot its 2.5 leaves is suddenly yellowing i have no idea why... and i want to rePot in sphagnum (has helped other ones i've had) problems: it has 2 VERY L.O.N.G. roots -- 1 ~ 7 inches the other is 6" (not sure what is under the bark mix hopefully more and healthy roots) the 2 roots are growing horizontally away from the pot in opposite directions and i need to know whether these can be wound around (how many times? [after getting them wet]) or whether to put it into a larger pot? it' in a 4" pot right now thanks in advance |

root advice ASAP -- please
thank you, Diana
it fit into a 5" pot sincerely Tanya Diana Kulaga wrote: Tanya, Some plants are just plain ornery, aren't they? I would choose the new pot size based on the larger root mass, and not the errant roots. If they soften up enough to go into the new pot, so be it. if not, let them hang out where they want to go. For example, I have an Angrcm. sesquipedale with roots so long and horizontal that it would take a 24" pot - minimum - to get all the roots in the medium. So they are out of the pot, and when I water I make sure I give them their share. Hope this helps.
