If the roots are aerial, then I would leave them alone. But if the root ball is huge in the pot and the plant is small, I have had good luck with pruning them back a bit. Of course, we're talking about Phals, and that makes a difference, but still, I prune. My Catts, I trim back substantially to repot, and have had excellent results. They branch, and I get better root mass overall by doing that. Still, have to defer to those who have grown much longer than I. Diana Your growing in a more natural climate than I am. It could be the combination of fresh air / humidity / climate that makes it possible. Glad you can do it. This is one of those cases. Where it fits it works, where the weather or artificial conditions get in the way... ask local advise. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
