I bought this tiny orchid on April 26, 2026. It is reaching the end of its blooming season, so I decided to repot it.
April 2026

The roots look good
Growers pack the tiny ones in moss, which I will gently pull away from the roots
The reason growers pack the moss so tightly is to prevent the plant from falling out and to help prevent overwatering. Moss holds a lot of water, even more when it is fluffy. Never reuse old moss.
Potted up with fresh bark and a few strands of fresh moss, in a slightly larger pot. The moss helps with moisture, because bark dries out fast, especially in a small pot.
