As this happens, the pH of the potting material drops. Ideally, pH should be 5.5 to 7 for orchids. By repotting on a regular basis, you can keep a healthy root system, and therefore sustain a healthy plant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen to repot?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are a few factors to determine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, if an orchid has a specific dormant season based on its variety or the condition it is growing in, repot right at the start of the season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the orchids are in old potting material, it may starve the roots of air or be too acidic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr, if the potting media has developed a mold\/fungus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to repot, will show examples using various genera.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoosing your potting material – explain how different substrates work and how materials can be combined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose based on the orchid, the pot, and your environment. As with anything, experience will show you what works best, but I can give the important fundamentals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePositioning the plant in the container. Monopodial and sympodial orchids are positioned based on their growth habits. I will show plant positioning on each orchid, being mindful of the depth of repotting as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI will also use examples of stake, wire ring and rhizome support.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI will show repotting examples of the following genera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•\tPhalaenopsis\u003cbr\u003e•\tDendrobium\u003cbr\u003e•\tVanda\u003cbr\u003e•\tCattleya\u003cbr\u003e•\tOncidium\u003cbr\u003e•\tPaphiopedilum\u003cbr\u003e•\tPhragmipedium \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"OrchidWeb","offers":[{"title":"Archived Repotting Basics Webniar Recording","offer_id":51518065738037,"sku":"S-26009-0","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"7-8-evening-viewing-of-the-epiphyllum-oxypetalum-aka-the-queen-of-the-night","title":"7\/8 Evening Viewing of the Epiphyllum oxypetalum aka the Queen of the Night","description":"For those of you who are night owls, or just need to see this in flower, here's your chance! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a rare opportunity to see (and smell) the Epiphyllum oxypetalum, also known as the Queen of the Night. If you are not familiar, this flower only opens at night, usually around 10:30 PM for us, and the flowers fade before sunrise. Each set of flowers only bloom once a year! Our plant is so large that we have a few nights per year of blooming, and this will be our 4th of the season, so we now know the timing of it! This plant typically will not flower under 6 feet in length, so it takes quite a while (and a lot of real estate) for hobbyists to bloom it! It is set to produce 7 flowers. The fragrance is quite lovely!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShould for any reason we think the blossoms will not open on the evening of 7\/8, we will make an announcement by 6 PM and re-schedule for the next evening or refund you if you cannot attend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Park in the normal parking lot, or up the hill at the events greenhouse entrance. You will see a lit pathway leading to the door. Once you enter, the room will be to your right.
