How to Repot an Orchid Plant Using Perfect Plants Orchid Fertilizer & Soil

Orchid care & repotting is essential to keeping your beautiful flowering houseplants healthy and happy. Our repotting orchid kit provides nutrients & the perfect growing medium for a thriving orchid plant.

Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind when performing this simple task:

1. Carefully remove the orchid from its current pot & remove any old potting medium
2. Clean up the orchid roots by removing any bad or dead roots with sterile trimmers or scissors
3. Gently place the orchid back in its grower pot or in a slightly larger pot that will fit the root system
4. Refill the pot with the Orchid Potting Medium & the notated amount of orchid fertilizer based on the size pot it’s in
5. Water the orchid thoroughly until water runs through the bottom of the pot but don’t let the roots sit in standing water to avoid root rot

When to Repot Orchids

The typical time to repot is every 1-3 years or as soon as the plant outgrows its current pot. You will know when it is time to renew the soil when the orchid bark mix that encompasses the twirling roots crumbles or dissipates in your hand. Additionally, the spiraling roots may become imposed on the pot or container. When aerial roots start to take over, you should repot the orchid plant to give it new soil and fertilizer.

Repotting orchids in bark is the best option for most plants because of its chunky consistency and high nitrogen content.
