Hi there orchid lovers! I’ve had this Phrag almost 9 years and I’ve only repotted it once, a few years ago, because the potting medium was not in good shape.
As you can see it’s wayyyy over grown in
the pot and medium needs to be replaced too. I do a pretty good job of neglecting it, I’m not sure how it’s lasted so long. I do keep it well watered in that glass dish with distilled water and I fertilize it every winter with dilute orchid fertilizer several times so it blooms every year.
Unfortunately it’s so overgrown that it has to be propped up with another upside down pot. It’s currently in a 5 and 1/2 inch container, I’m thinking of upgrading to 7 inches and using New Zealand moss which is its original potting medium. Any suggestions would be appreciated since this is the only Phrag I have- the rest of mine are phals or oncodiums. It’s also my favorite one so I definitely don’t want to kill it.
