I have an Orchid in a pot without holes. Do I repot it now or after the blooms are gone?

Question

I just received this Moth Orchid for Mother's day. I just read on another web site that it should be in a pot with drainage holes. I have really great blooms on it right now, but I am concerned because I watered it about three weeks ago and the medium is still quite moist. I don't want to drown the poor thing, but I don't want to send it into shock, either, by transplanting it. What is the best thing to do?

Answer 1

If it is in a pot it really does not matter if you repot it now even while it is in bloom. You will not damage, or r****d the plant at all.  I think that if you wet soil in the pot, it will come out easier than if you leave it dry. On the otherhand if the neck of the pot which the Orchid is in, in narrower than the body, then you could have some difficulty getting the plant out undisturbed.

Answer 2

please do not repot this plant as yet wait until it has bloom all  the way...when its done you have to buy a pot just for Orchids and there is soil for Orchids that is not soil its like pebbles,this is why I say to wait,,and dont over water it else all the flowers will fall off.right now keep it in a bright place like near a window that does not get too much sun,and water it only when it needs it ok good luck..
