When to repot?
Now that my phal has finished blooming (pre-Christmas to Victoria Day
is a lot longer than I was expecting the blooms to last) I figure it time to consider repotting. The phal is in a clay pot with a 4 1/2" diameter across the top. It now has six leaves and three aerial roots (after having none up until a few weeks ago). The roots are the reason I have started to think about repotting. They are long enough to rub up against the edges of the pot. I don't know where they're going to get room to grow any longer. Is this a problem or should I just leave them be for the time being? I'll leave the questions about how to repot until after I get a consensus on whether it needs a new home. I guess I'll also have to figure out if I should leave the plant as is or cut it back a bit. The last time I cut it down a couple inches, so I know that's a viable option, but I'd love for it to grow bigger, more numerous branches (what do you call those anyway?). Maybe I'll let it go for a while and see what happens. --Vic |
