Mini Phalaenopsis: Repotting Timing and Mix Recommendations

Two Flowers Dead, One Bud Slow—Repot When Done

Repot after all flowers drop. No rush—the plant is finishing its cycle.

Mix for Mini Phals

• Standard orchid mix from garden centers (Lowe's, Home Depot).
• Or seedling-grade mix (¼–½" particles) for smaller roots.
• Any reputable brand works—look for fir bark base.

Bugs on Stake?

Probably fungus gnats from decomposed mix. Repotting eliminates them. No bugs seen recently = good sign.

Sanny, your mini is behaving normally. Repot post-bloom, and it'll rebound beautifully.
