- What to do when repotting is neccesary. By:-Peter Baxter
What to do if time is bad, nevertheless repotting is a must?
Sometimes an orchid desperately wants repotting because the mix is so deteriorated or the plant is badly overgrown. Waiting until the proper cycle to repot could imply that the resulting root damage may perhaps harm the plant more than repotting could. Be as gentle as possible with plants potted out of time, watching them carefully afterward. If you discover that the roots are rotten, clean the roots and pot the plant into a very small pot, and wait until the regular repotting time to repot as usual. Don't overdo the watering, however give as much humidity as possible.
If the plant is overgrown but the mix is still acceptable, a procedure called "dropping on" is effective. Remove the plant from its overgrown pot and put it, mix and all, into a bigger pot. Then put in fresh mix to fill gaps. Dropping on disturbs roots very little and is an adequate way to repot even at suitable times if the mixture is still fine. Orchids that prefer a rather decayed mix up (such as Cymbidium) do better being dropped on, with a complete repotting only each other time.
Another useful trick for overgrown sympodial plants climbing over the side of the pot is to place another same height pot next to it to accommodate the overhanging pseudo bulbs and roots. The second pot must be plastic, so that you be able to cutaway a V-shaped piece of the rim therefore it will fit better under the overhanging growths. Put the next pot under the new growths and roots hanging over the side of the new pot, and fill it with new mixture. Then tape the two side-by-side pots together around both rims, to prevent the new pot from moving. The overgrown parts be able to establish in the new pot without too much disturbance. As soon as the appropriate time arrives, the whole plant can be reported into a bigger pot, or easily divided, with a natural break at the point between the 2 pots.
Another time you should avoid repotting your orchid is when it is in bud or flower. Wait until flowering is over, because repotting can cause enough disturbance to make the flowers or buds drop off. If the orchid has a flower sheath with no buds evident inside, or if the spike is still short and budless, feel free to go ahead if needed. Newly acquired plants can need repotting if the mix up is evidently deteriorated or the plant is overgrown. However, give new plants at least a month to acclimate themselves to their new growing conditions before repotting, to allow restoration from the trauma of a new environment without the added trauma of repotting.
