My phrags have never bloomed and I am considering repotting them in diatomite. Would it still be advisable to have them standing in water then as I have them now?
What do you recommend if the plants don't start putting out new roots as the old ones rot?Jason Fischer said:The existing root system may adjust, but many times it crashes and rots. But not to be alarmed, at the same time new roots develop quickly and actually adjust to the new condition, and that's when your plant starts to flourish. Most orchid roots will adapt to new conditions if done right, and is what I consider one of the wonders of plant adaptability.
I have phrags potted in all differnt media, and they all bloom (at least eventually). How much light do they get? I think that is a bigger factor to blooming than potting mixes.Bill in NYC said:My phrags have never bloomed and I am considering repotting them in diatomite.
