Why do old Phalaenopsis orchids need repotting to survive?
Those of you who grow Phalaenopsis orchids have surely run into this question: your old plant at home has been growing for a year or two, looks fine on the whole, so does it still need repotting? Is it really true that it won't survive without repotting? The first reason old Phalaenopsis orchids need repotting is that the potting medium has "worn out." As we all know, Phalaenopsis orchids generally use bark, sphagnum moss and the like as potting medium. Over time, this medium becomes like an old worn-out rag: the bark crumbles into bits, the sphagnum moss rots into mud, and it completely loses its air permeability and drainage. After watering, the medium becomes stuffy and wet inside, and the orchid's roots simply can't breathe; over time, problems like root rot and black rot all come knocking.
