Keith walks you through how to repot Oncidium orchids and safely divide an overgrown plant with rotted roots, using simple steps anyone can follow at home. This video is for beginner and intermediate indoor orchid growers who want clear, no-jargon help choosing the right pot, trimming tired roots, and setting each division up for fresh, healthy growth.
In this episode, Keith starts with an Oncidium that’s climbing out of its pot and shows how to gently unpot it, remove the old mix, and see what roots are still worth saving. You’ll see exactly how to spot rotted roots, where to divide the plant, and how to keep those tender green root tips safe while you work.
Then we cover choosing the right-size pot, adding a chunky drainage layer, and using a simple bark-based mix that keeps roots airy instead of soggy. You’ll learn how to position the oldest growth to the back of the pot so the new growth has space to run, and why labeling your orchid with the repotting date makes future care easier.
By the end, dividing and repotting your own Oncidium won’t feel scary or fussy—just a calm, step-by-step way to give your orchid a fresh start indoors. Think of it as a little spa day for a hard-working plant, done right on your kitchen counter. Check out more tips at https://gardenwiseguy.com.
