I have some new buds that I want to show y'all!!! Also, should I prune the roots that grew up out of the pot, or not. And should I repot her?

Congrats! Flower spikes are always to exciting. Don’t cut the aerial roots. They are handy to fall back on if you loose the roots in the media. Don’t repot while in bloom. It will most likely cause the blooms to drop. It once it’s done flowering, I would repot. Usually the media a phal comes in is not well suited for home growers, or it’s degraded to the point to need replacement.

There is no better repotting advice than what you’ve received above. I’m only here to add that I can’t wait to see her in bloom- don’t forget to share with us!

  Thank you! I will try to remember! Edit: yesterday day we were decorating and had to move her to a different location. When we woke up I saw she had lost a bloom. 😢🥺😓
