Family Plot's video: Repotting Grocery Store Orchids

Repot your grocery store orchid to keep it alive and healthy. Orchid expert Randall Bayer shows how. Orchids live on trees in tropical areas. Their roots absorb water from the almost daily rains in those areas. The tree bark where they are growing then quickly dries out. The orchids store the water in special structures called pseudo bulbs or in their leaves. Orchids for sale in stores are usually potted in sphagnum peat moss. The peat moss holds water and does not let the orchid roots dry out between watering like they do in the wild. This means that without special attention, the roots will rot, and the plant will die in a short time. To keep the plant from dying the orchid must be repotted. Randall repots an orchid purchased in a grocery store and shows and explains all the steps. *Here are some of the supplies Randall used* (Amazon affiliate links) Clay Orchid Pot: https://amzn.to/48ZGsTA (Amazon) Orchid Bark: https://amzn.to/3OvVgBf (Amazon) Metal Rhizome clip: https://amzn.to/49hIka8 (Amazon) *Here are some more great videos about houseplants* Repotting Houseplants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eaV2iH-IxE Spring Houseplant Care: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiPaKsZdZcU Subscribe now to Family Plot for more gardening videos like these! youtube.com/c/FamilyPlot For even more information, go to https://www.familyplotgarden.com
