Healthy Roots?

It's Jenn again! I was wondering..... Are these roots healthy? She is flowering right now, so I want to wait to repot, but am pretty worried about these roots.

Hello again!

It's a bit hard to tell without poking around in the pot, but those roots aren't looking great. Certainly the moss it's in is getting too old.

I recommend repotting it into new moss promptly; the (slight) stress of repotting will be less than the stress of sitting in old moss. Moss tends to break down in a little over a year, so I like to repot plants growing in moss annually.

Just follow my instructions for repotting and it should be fairly straightforward.

Can I use something other than moss? Something longer lasting?

Sure! Bark-based orchid potting mixes will last 2-3 years, or a lot of people have good luck with coconut husk chips, which last about the same amount of time. Either can be a good choice for Phals.
