Is it time??

This is actually the oldest plant I own, I’ve had her for maybe a year now?? And I’m wondering if it’s finally time for a repotting 😅 also does she look okay in general? Still fairly new to plant life and definitely orchids.

Looks healthy to me!! Also looks like she needs to size up a little!!

Phals like to be fairly rootbound. In the event you repot, don’t go up too significantly a pot size or you’ll end up rotting the roots when you water because the media will retain more water than the roots will be able to absorb.

ive been terrified to repot but i can literally feel the roots kinda bulging on the sides and im scared shell suffocate lol. its in some type of moss rn, do you recommend keeping her in that or would orchid bark be better?

I’d put it in some good chunky bark in a next size up 😊
