Usage Instructions
Orchid Repotting Protocol:
-
Remove all dead roots – healthy roots are firm/white
-
Trim aerial roots lightly if overgrown
-
Position crown above mix – never bury in bark
-
Fill loosely around roots – bark should rattle in pot
-
No compaction – loose = good aeration
-
Water 2-3 days after repotting – let roots callus
-
Bright indirect light + good air movement
Watering Guide:
Roots silvery white → water thoroughly
Roots green → wait
Excess drains immediately → correct mix
Fertilize weakly, weekly (1/4 strength)

Recommended:
Phalaenopsis: Clear plastic slotted
