Hi all,
I just received a small phalaenopsis potted in sphagnum moss about a week ago. I watered it today when the media was pretty much dry, and I noticed that it took a very long time for the water to filter out the bottom holes of the pot. The water first pooled at the top of top for 3-5 seconds, then finally drained to the bottom.
I've never really taken care of an orchid before, but from what I read and judging by the amount of time it took for the water to filter down the pot, I have a feeling that something bad will happen if I do not repot my orchid ... What do you think? Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
