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}],"url":"https:\/\/store.orchidweb.com\/products\/archived-repotting-basics-webniar-recording","provider":"OrchidWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
