    Absolutely beautiful. You seem to know a lot about orchids so let me ask you. I have a Phalaenopsis that is almost constantly in bloom as well, and is also in need of a re-pot because it is wildly outgrowing its pot. It seems happy and healthy. Would you repot it now, in it’s growing season or wait until it seems to stop blooming which could be in fall or winter?

      Thanks. I research a lot. Knowledge is so empowering. And it doesn’t hurt that I have opinion on pretty much anything. Since it sounds like the plant in question is in good shape - I’m imaging a tangle of roots but healthy leaves and roots, and media in reasonable condition - I would leave it be and enjoy the bloom show. Repotting now could cause bud blast. Most sources agree that the best time to repot is after flowering. Typically that’s when the new roots and leaves start developing. Good luck! PS - I love your rescue orchids!

      Thanks! I was at the grocery store and they had thrown them away in a clear trash bag and I asked to take it home lol. The lady assured me they were all garbage and I wouldn’t want them. She was so wrong lol
