Can Phalaenopsis be repotted in summer?

Phalaenopsis cannot be repotted in summer. When repotting, the Phalaenopsis will enter a short dormant period due to damage to the root system. Summer is the time when Phalaenopsis develops tender shoots. The tender shoots will grow thin and weak due to malnutrition and other reasons, affecting the growth of the entire plant. Moreover, in hot weather, repotting can easily cause dehydration and lead to withering and death.

How to repot Phalaenopsis

First, prepare a new flowerpot and new soil for the Phalaenopsis. Stop watering 3 days before repotting. When repotting, use a small shovel to loosen the soil around the plant.

Then, we take out the plant, gently shake off the soil on the surface, put it in a flowerpot filled with new soil, fill the soil and compact it.
