Re-potting orchids
5 Answers
My mother in law has a beautiful orchid that has now produced a mass of what look like thick green twisted shoots (or perhaps roots?) from beneath the compost. She has had the plant for a couple of years and it is thriving. She asked me whether she should re-pot it, but since I know nothing about indoor plants (or outdoor plants!), I thought I'd ask someone who might.
Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.

They feed from the air . If it is a bit loose in the pot she can top up with some small bark pieces or something like vermiculite. My cymbidiums I repot when they become pot bound and don't have any bark or planting medium left.
