Frequently Asked Questions about Orchids
Why do orchids need a transparent pot?
The roots of epiphytic orchids, such as Phalaenopsis, carry out photosynthesis. The transparent pot allows them to receive the necessary light and enables you to easily check their health and the moisture level of the substrate, preventing overwatering.
How often should I repot my orchid?
Generally every 2-3 years, or when you notice that the substrate has degraded, the roots are growing abundantly out of the pot, or the plant appears unstable. The best time is after flowering.
Is this kit suitable for all orchids?
This kit is ideal for most commercial epiphytic orchids such as Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, and Cattleya, which require high root aeration. It is perfect for repotting plants from pots with a diameter of 9 to 12 cm.
Should I water the orchid immediately after repotting?
No, it is advisable to wait about 7-10 days before the first watering. This allows small wounds on the roots, created during repotting, to heal, preventing the risk of rot.
