I found a couple of neglected (but thriving) orchids in my dads back yard. I want to put them on my verandah, but they look a bit ugly as they have grown seriosly too big for the pots they are in. Both of them have flower buds which are unopened. I know its not the best time, but do you think if I chopped and replanted a section of them (so they fit in pot better) would it stop the flowers from coming out or kill them?
Does anyone know anything about re-potting orchids?
Now is not the best time to repot orchids, wait until the flowers dry out, then remove the orchids from the soil, separate them and cut out most of the roots leaving only about half a finger and repot them on different pots in orchid soil with the buds showing above the soil, they very lightly will not flower the first year.
