Repotting Paphs

[JAB]

So in general I know the season for repotting Paph's is upon us, and I wanted to ask if most of you all still adhere to repotting if there is new spikes coming up, or if you only repot if not active?

Thanks

I repot after blooming, unless I can tell that the media is causing the roots to rot, then immediately repot.

RE-pot??

It depends on your own experience with repotting. If plants generally show no set back after repotting for you then I would only avoid the 2-3 weeks just before and after bud opening in most cases. Or if a plant has been a bud blaster in the past, then wait.

I wouldn't repot the ones in spike. The risk of damaging is high as well as the possibility of plants themselves aborting the spike for being disturbed.

I don't repot things that not active unless it is really really necessary.

The best time to repot in general for anything is when the plants just start growing season. This way, they will easily reestablish themselves without much trauma.

Thanks folks! Good pointers all around, I appreciate it.

Repot when the roots push up against the pot 'rootbound', or the media smells rotten or the plant is not growing, I've repotted while in bloom with success and also caused bud blast
