FAQs

How often should I repot my orchid?

Repot orchids every 1-2 years, or when the potting mix breaks down or the orchid outgrows its pot.

Can I reuse the repotting mix?

It is not recommended to reuse the mix, as it will break down over time and lose its aeration properties.

What kind of pot should I use?

Use a pot with good drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating around the roots.

How much water does my orchid need?

Water when the top inch of the mix feels dry to the touch, typically once a week, but this varies with environmental conditions.

Where should I place my repotted orchid?

Place it in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.

What is the best way to water my orchid?

Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid letting the orchid sit in water.

Troubleshooting

Orchid leaves turning yellow.

Check for overwatering or inadequate light. Adjust watering and move the orchid to a brighter location if needed.

Roots appear mushy or brown.

Reduce watering frequency. The orchid might be suffering from root rot due to excessive moisture.
