I recently potted up a cattleya that was in a tiny clay pot by just putting
the whole pot in a bigger one and now it's in spike Lc Mini Purple 'Blue Hawaii'. Roots were all over the outside of the tiny pot. I figure it will walk out of the small pot... Anyway, you could shake out as much media as you can and leave the old pot on when you pot up or I was thinking u could cut the old pot away?

When it comes time to repot, I end up having to tear a lot of roots since they often grow through the fine mesh and cannot be removed intact. Do you think this is a problem and, if so, any suggested solutions? I suppose I could repot more often, before a lot of roots have grown through the mesh. Or I could go back to clay pots. Suggestions? Thanks. Jim |
