Today we start a new series, which is not new, just renamed :P Is everyone ready for today's lesson? It's about pot size! Grab a snack and enjoy! 🦋 More info below! 🦋
One of the most common aspects you will research in your orchid care is repotting and all the details associated with it, including pot size. Conventional wisdom says to never over pot... but what does it even mean and which pots are too big?
Consider this: a big pot with moss for a tiny orchid, something isn't right. Now imagine a big EMPTY pot on which the orchid is attached. It makes all the difference in the world!
So, is it the size of the pot which is directly affecting the orchid, or rather what's inside it?
