White Mold on Orchid Media: Wait Until After Bloom to Repot

Surface Mold on Blooming Orchid—Don't Disturb Yet

A second-bloom orchid (Dtps. Queen Bee x P. Meteor x Dor. Pulcherrima) with white mold on media surface, never repotted.

Advice

• Unless plant is crashing, wait until after bloom.
• Reduce watering: let media become almost dry between waterings.
• Then repot in fresh mix.

Mold on surface often means media staying too wet. Drier cycle helps until repot.
