Repotting orchids - overgrown roots.
At lower left is our white Cattleya orchid "Aloha," one of the two orchids we got at Akatsuka Orchids in Hawaii in 2023. She has outgrown her original pot as you can see, but has three new pseudobulb growths and lots of root growth (see green tips at root ends). Earlier today I repotted our two newest orchids (top center). The first is a "Paph" orchid that Cheryl gave to me for my birthday. The second is a Miltassia that I won as a door prize at the monthly meeting of the Batavia Orchid Society. They were easy to repot, and didn't really require it yet, but I wanted them in larger pots to avoid drying out too much in-between watering.
