How long does it take for an orchid to acclimate after repotting? How to judge whether it has acclimatized

1. How long does it take to be considered acclimatized after repotting?

If the orchid plant is healthy enough, it will take 20-180 days to acclimate to the pot after repotting. The reason for the large time difference is that different varieties of orchids require different acclimatization times in different environments. For varieties that grow faster, under suitable conditions, it only takes about 20 days to acclimate. For varieties that grow more slowly, under less suitable conditions, it may take 180 days or even longer for them to fully adapt to the pot.

2. How to judge whether the basin is acclimatized

1. Judge by leaves: You can judge whether the orchid has adapted to the pot by the state of the leaves. If its leaves have become shiny and very glossy, it means that its root system is able to absorb nutrients and water to supply the leaves. This means that it has adapted to the pot. In addition, if the leaves grow very quickly, it also means that the plant has adapted to the pot.

2. Judge by new buds: If the orchid has grown new buds after repotting, it also means that it has adapted to the pot. Because it needs the support of nutrients and water to sprout. Only after the plant has adapted to the potting environment can its roots absorb enough nutrients and water to meet its needs for growing new shoots.
