Cutting Phal roots
Sometimes I do cut them, if in a situation as described.
I then dip the cut end (nothing else) in cinnamon to dry it out and prevent fungal infections, then repot. The roots usually branch quite nicely. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . . |
Cutting Phal roots
i have to play it by ear since i don't know how the "internal" roots are...
i have another question which just arose: my mom's phalaenopsis (no label -- white flowers) has grown 2 keikis (one on each spike) both have 3 leaves and each has 2 HUGE roots. these should not be cut off? and what to soak them in to make them fit into the smallest pot possible? sincerely Tanya Ray wrote: Sometimes I do cut them, if in a situation as described.
