Choose the right time to transplant after flowering or when new roots begin to grow
Gather fresh orchid mix, a clean pot with drainage, sterilized cutting tools, and gloves
Remove the orchid from its old pot gently
Shake off and remove old potting medium from the roots
Inspect the roots and cut away dead, mushy, or black roots with sterilized tools
Trim any dead or damaged leaves or flower spikes if needed
Rinse the roots lightly if necessary
Place a small amount of fresh orchid mix in the new pot
Position the orchid so the base sits at the same level as before
Spread the roots evenly in the pot
Fill around the roots with fresh orchid mix without packing it tightly
Tap the pot lightly to settle the medium
Keep the orchid stable in the pot
Do not water immediately if roots were cut; wait a few days if needed
Place the orchid in bright indirect light
Resume normal watering after the plant adjusts
Avoid fertilizing for a few weeks after transplanting
