I have had an orchid named "zygopetalum" in a very small pot (about
10cm diametre) for the last 3 years. It lives on my bathroom
windowsill, where it enjoys good light away from direct sun, and a
relatively moist athmosphere. It gets watered every couple of weeks,
with a liquid feed while it grows and flowers. It has flowered around
3 to 4 times for me. I am however concerned that it needs repotting:
the roots are very crowded, and some of the leaves look tired with
brown areas. Should I just repot, and if so in what kind of compost?
(there are lots of bits of bark in the original compost) Should I cut
back the browned leaves, or should I pull the bulby thingies from which
they emerge?
All help much appreciated!
TIA
