Should I repot an orchid I just got?
Should I repot an orchid I just got?
I'm not an expert on orchids but it will largely depend on how it is pottes right now; is it in the right medium, has it outgrown it's pot, is the substrate too wet and needs replacing, stuff like that
2개 좋아요Personally I repot almost every plant I get, even if it's just back into it's original pot. The number of times that I have found elastics, foam or other things wrapped around a plant irritates me.

좋아요 1개can you provide a picture? always examine roots before repotting, but i'd recommend repotting all new plants if they're healthy, even if you don't size up. sometimes there's things in the soil or it's an improper medium
좋아요 1개looks totally healthy to me! no repot needed :)
0개 좋아요Orchids like to be a bit rootbound, so I only repot mine if the container (thin plastic) is cracking. Only do this if you use the thin clear orchid pots though, otherwise just repot when it expands when pulled out. In the wild, they grow in cracks of rocks and trees so repotting is much less necessary.
