Orchid Transplanting: A Step-by-Step Guide Belarusian orchid enthusiast, Elena Orhid, shares her expert tips on successfully transplanting orchids. Her video, published May 14th, 2025, has already garnered significant attention online. Orhid emphasizes three crucial factors for healthy orchid growth: pot selection, bark preparation, and proper watering techniques. "Using a transparent pot allows the roots to participate in photosynthesis, turning green and healthy," explains Orhid. She demonstrates how to choose a pot that's the right size for the roots, preventing them from becoming loose and potentially leading to damage. Orhid also highlights the importance of preparing the bark before planting. "New bark is often too dry," she notes, "soaking it for a couple of hours ensures it's adequately hydrated and provides the roots with the necessary moisture." This simple step, she says, can prevent root rot and promote healthy growth. Orhid's practical advice offers a valuable resource for both novice and experienced orchid growers, ensuring healthy and thriving plants.
