Phalaenopsis Rootbound with 4 Spikes: Repot After Bloom

2.5 Years, Roots Escaping, 4 Spikes with Buds—Wait to Repot

Degraded mix (soft) but plant thriving. Repot AFTER flowering.

Until Then

• Water LIGHTLY—only when mix nearly dry.
• Degraded mix stays wet → root rot risk.
• Roots escaping = seeking air (smart plant!).

Your Culture Is Working

For current conditions, you're nailing it. Post-bloom refresh will lock in gains.

Chandana, patience. The spikes are your reward—don't risk them.
