Repotting orchids in bloom: Should you do it or not? Quick guide to repot your orchids.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I’ve got these orchids, right? And they’re blooming like crazy, just gorgeous. But, I noticed the roots were getting all tangled up and some leaves were turning yellow – not a good sign. I knew I had to do something even though it’s not the best time to repot them, but I thought, “Better now than never.”

First, I got all my stuff together. Needed a new pot, some fresh potting mix made for orchids, and my trusty scissors. I gently took the orchid out of its old pot. Man, those roots were a mess! All crowded and some even looked a bit rotten.

So, I started untangling the roots, like trying to untangle necklaces. I used my scissors to snip off any dead or mushy roots. Gotta keep it clean, you know? It took some time, but I got them all separated and trimmed. It felt like I was giving the plant a much-needed haircut.

Then, I put some of that fresh potting mix into the new pot. Made a little well in the center and carefully placed the orchid in. I added more mix around the roots, making sure everything was snug and secure. Like tucking it into bed.

After that, I gave it a good watering. Watched the water drain out the bottom, making sure it wasn’t sitting in water. I know they don’t like wet feet. Then, I found a nice spot for it, not too sunny, not too shady.

Honestly, it took me a few minutes to do this for each orchid. It wasn’t rocket science, more like disassembling and reassembling something with a little care.

Now, they’re all settled in their new homes. Fingers crossed they handle the move okay, even though they’re blooming. I’ll be keeping a close eye on them, watching for any signs of stress. Hopefully, they’ll keep blooming and stay happy in their new pots.

It’s been a little while now, and they seem to be doing alright. The blooms are still going strong, and I haven’t seen any more yellow leaves. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe they’re just tougher than I thought. Either way, I’m glad I took the chance and repotted them. It’s always a good feeling when you try something new, and it works out, right?

  • Gather supplies: Get a new pot, orchid potting mix, and scissors.
  • Remove the orchid: Gently take the orchid out of its old pot.
  • Clean the roots: Untangle and trim any dead or mushy roots.
  • Repot: Place the orchid in the new pot with fresh mix, ensuring it’s snug.
  • Water: Water thoroughly, allowing excess to drain.
  • Place: Find a suitable location with indirect light.
  • Monitor: Keep an eye out for signs of stress.

I know it’s better to do it when they aren’t blooming, but I think they will be fine. They say you should repot orchids every year or two, and it had been a while, so it was time. It was kind of a gamble, but I’m feeling pretty good about it now.

What I learned from this repotting

Even if the orchid is in bloom, you can still repot it if you are careful. It is important to be gentle with the roots and to make sure that the orchid is not stressed. I am no expert, just sharing what I did. It seems to have worked out okay. You might want to wait until your orchids are not in bloom if you are worried, though. I just couldn’t wait any longer. Wish me luck!
