How to understand that it is time to repot an orchid: the only sure sign

The orchid has a root system that can baffle gardeners.

Many lovers of this flower do not have a clear understanding of when it is time to look for a more spacious pot for the plant.

Experienced biologists even pointed out that orchids do not need peas. In natural conditions, flowers grow either from the ground or on trees.

The pot was invented by a person to grow "green pets" not only in a flowerbed, but also on a windowsill. There was a need for containers in which the underground part of plants could be hidden.

So, the orchid has no specific signal about the need for repotting. They can grow without a pot.

But flower growers use one universal and very simple method. When the plant's root system no longer fits in the pot, they look for a more spacious container.

The best time to replant an orchid is considered to be spring, as well as summer. In this case, you should pay attention to the color of the roots. Rich green indicates that the roots are in the active growth phase, so the procedure should be postponed.
