Don’t worry about the pot size when repotting as Phalenopsis will rather grow vertically then laterally so the same pot size should be enough. For a Phalenopsis use medium grade orchid mixes, medium grade fir bark or sphagnum moss.Orchid foodhttp://www.orchidfood.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-57329130029724289712010-05-27T06:21:33.603-10:002010-05-27T06:21:33.603-10:00People could learn a lot about conservation by rea...People could learn a lot about conservation by reading this one post.
