To repot miniature Phalaenopsis orchids, use the same repotting procedure recommended for full-size Phals. Phalaenopsis orchids should be planted in a loose, chunky growing media that promotes fast drainage and allows air circulation around the plant’s roots (available at home and garden stores) to thrive. However, as mentioned in our previous post, many mini orchids will be planted in sphagnum moss and you can continue to use moss as your potting medium for these small delicate orchids as bark is simply too large for their smaller pots. When repotting orchids, whether they’re mini or full phals, be sure to select a pot with holes to promote drainage of the potting medium.
