Orchids need to be repotted every one to two years to refresh the potting medium and provide room for growth. If the roots of your orchid plant are crowded or have started to push against the sides of the pot, it is time to transplant it into a larger container. To transplant an orchid, find a shallow pot with drainage holes that is one size larger than the pot your orchid is currently in. Gently remove the orchid from its old pot and brush away as needed.
Orchids need repotting every one to two years to refresh the potting medium and provide room for growth. Signs that your orchid needs repotting include roots growing out of the pot. Growing plants indoors can be limited by lack of light and limited growing spaces. Even orchids labeled as “low light” will struggle if they are in a window.
Orchids should be repotted or transplanted once a year, especially just after flowering or when new growth is noticed. Other indications that your orchid is ready to move include closely growing roots in their potting medium. When the medium breaks down, it’s time to replant.
It’s okay to put your orchids outside in summer, but there are some restrictions. Orchids thrive in sunlight, and the living room tends to get the most sunlight in your home. Indirect sunlight is best for orchids.
Orchid roots can grow outside of the pot, but homes are not humid enough to support epiphytes well. A pot helps by providing enough light and temperature, which may cause blooms to fall.
