Recommendations:
After two or three years, the orchid is replanted. The best time is at the end of the dormancy. Orchids are replanted with the utmost care not to damage the fragile roots.
The day before transplanting, the orchids are thoroughly watered to make it easier to separate the roots stuck to the pot. Dead and rotten roots and tubers are removed. A drainage layer is placed on the bottom of the pot until ¼ from the depth of the pot (potted fragments, light gravel, etc.) then a layer of substrate is placed on top of which the plant is fitted so that the root collar or rhizome is almost at the edge of the pot. The root gaps are filled with substrate. When planting, the liver does not compact the soil. It is important that the plant is firmly attached to the substrate (support stick).
After planting, it is recommended to water the plants only after 3-5 days. Water safely in spring and summer, modestly in autumn and winter, with soft water if possible. Fertilize with a weak fertilizer solution during active growth.
Orchids need a lot of light, but not direct strong sunlight. Avoid drafts. Make sure you have enough air humidity from time to time.
