Repotting An Orchid
6 Answers
I have an Orchid on my kitchen windowsill and after flowering continuously for 2 years it is about to drop its last flower. there doesn't seem to be much in the pot apart from the roots and a few bits of what look like bark. When I water it, the water runs straight through. Is it time to re-pot it, and if so, what sort of compost should I use?

I use a wetting agent when i water so the water and feed gets taken into the orchid compost and doesn't hang around in the bottom of the container.
