Repotting a Cattleya Bag Baby | June 2024
Ойын-сауық
I bought this cattleya during a frenzy, not knowing much about its care. This bag baby was the healthiest of the ones I purchased last summer, 2023. I only knew of the slatted orchid pots I use for Phals, so I repotted it into one of those. It did well, grew new roots, and finished a new growth. Because it currently had a new growth and I wanted it in terracotta, I repotted it. Keep in mind I am a rookie with orchids other than Phals. I grow mostly outside in the warmer months and move everything in during the fall and winter. I managed to keep most of these orchids alive this past winter, so I am hopeful that streak will continue.
I hope you enjoy the video. Like and subscribe.

Very nice job! Enjoyed watching this...
Fantastic!! I think terracotta pots and Cattleyas are the perfect match (especially when she’s in bloom and doesn’t fall over 🙌🏾) Very nice video, thanks for sharing 😁

Happy growing!! While watering today this plants new grow has started popping out a sheath. I don’t see buds yet but fingers crossed!
......if I get a new plant and it has new growths, Ill repot....the new roots will come after the new growths get some size.....and grow into the new media.......I think its a good time to repot.....nice work.....Im sure it will respond well for you.

Thank you! Today I noticed a sheath coming from the new growth. No buds but hopeful. I guess it’s happy. I am amazed at how fast they will surprise me and how long it takes to get there! LOL!
Hey Kyle! Great job on this repot! 🎉

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Kyle, it looks like you potted it just fine the first time. I don't use terracotta because the roots want to stick to the sides of the pot when you need to repot them. I always use plastic pots. Whatever you did with that orchid, it looks fantastic! It has good looking new roots and hardly any dead roots at all, that's impressive.

Thank you! I hope that I won't regret terracotta in the future. All my Catts are now in terracotta. I am going with orchid faith and what I've seen more experienced growers have done. Thanks for watching!

I killed all the 2 inchers I bought. I'm not good with seedlings. Thanks for watching!
