Description
Did you miss this webinar? No worries! We have a recorded copy of it available for purchase. This is the Zoom recording, so it is not in HD, but rest assured future classes are being prepared to be recorded in HD.
In this video Jason Fischer, who has been repotting orchids since he was 5 years old, will go over multiple techniques on how to approach repotting on several genera of orchids, and various potting materials that work with the plants.
After payment, you will receive a link and password to access the archived Zoom webinar within 24 hours (usually within a shorter period of time). **Please note any promo codes given during the live class might not currently be active.
Here is the original description of the class:
Why do we repot?
Over time, the potting material breaks down due to bacteria, molds or fungus which will develop as the material biodegrades. As this happens, the pH of the potting material drops. Ideally, pH should be 5.5 to 7 for orchids. By repotting on a regular basis, you can keep a healthy root system, and therefore sustain a healthy plant.
When to repot?
There are a few factors to determine.
Overall, if an orchid has a specific dormant season based on its variety or the condition it is growing in, repot right at the start of the season.
If the orchids are in old potting material, it may starve the roots of air or be too acidic.
Or, if the potting media has developed a mold/fungus
How to repot, will show examples using various genera.
Choosing your potting material – explain how different substrates work and how materials can be combined.
Choose based on the orchid, the pot, and your environment. As with anything, experience will show you what works best, but I can give the important fundamentals.
Positioning the plant in the container. Monopodial and sympodial orchids are positioned based on their growth habits. I will show plant positioning on each orchid, being mindful of the depth of repotting as well.
I will also use examples of stake, wire ring and rhizome support.
I will show repotting examples of the following genera
• Phalaenopsis
• Dendrobium
• Vanda
• Cattleya
• Oncidium
• Paphiopedilum
• Phragmipedium
