Repotting orchids
Repotting orchids is one of the basic procedures that should be done every 2 years .

Substrate and pot
To take care of your beautiful plants you need to provide them with an airy substrate. Their roots are demanding, so provide them with a suitable pot along with bark and components. The garden bark should be fresh to avoid decay.
An orchid pot is different from the other pots you choose for plants in your home. It should be transparent with a shaped bottom. You will then be able to monitor the condition of the roots, and the bottom of the pot will allow excess water to drain away. You can add shredded Styrofoam to it, which improves the state of aeration for a long time. Its only drawback is that it cannot be used for compost as an artificial product. If you prefer to diversify the pot of your plant with natural additions, you can add peanut shells or coconut
