This video offers a 5-step approach to preparing orchids for repotting, minimizing stress and promoting successful recovery.
The video outlines a crucial pre-repotting routine for orchids, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing stress. Here are the key steps:
Step 1: Promote New Growth (Optional):
Apply light doses of calmag and seaweed extract if new growth is anticipated. (Note: Skip this step if no new growth is visible.)
This provides essential nutrients for new roots or shoots and supports natural growth hormones within the orchid.
Step 2: Ensure Optimal Conditions:
Do not repot orchids without new roots.
Maintain ideal temperature ranges specific to the orchid variety.
By meeting these conditions, the orchid is better equipped to handle the repotting process.
Step 3: Prepare for Repotting Day:
Sterilize all tools like tweezers, clippers, and scissors to prevent infections.
Prepare a revitalizing soak with calmag and seaweed extract (100-300 ppm, 30% seaweed).
Soak the orchid, especially if roots are stuck to the pot. (Tip: Use a thin tool to check if roots detach easily.)
Ensure the soaking solution has a pH of 6.7-7.0.
Prepare the new pot and potting media beforehand.
