Comment on (Phalaenopsis-) Orchid repotting advice needed

IMALlama@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

That seems like a lot of damage for one week, but I guess anything is possible.

In general, plants don’t like sudden changes to their environment. That’s why you should gradually introduce indoor plants to sunlight if you move them outdoors - you’ll give them sunburn. I suspect the same is true for roots. I keep my orchids in bark and let them dry out some between waterings. I suspect if their roots were suddenly moist 24/7 they wouldn’t be too happy about it.

I hate to link reddit, but more info found here
