Paph and Prag repotting discussion

[Diane]

Please post your tips, methods, do's and don'ts for repotting Paphs and Prags in this thread. (YES, I KNOW, YOU MAY NOT TREAT THEM THE SAME _ SO POST ABOUT EACH!!)Tell us what kind of everything - pot type, media, hormones, fungicides, tools, soak times, when to repot, why to repot, trim the roots, etc... Try to be specific when mentioning dilution rates for sprays, hormones, etc.

the only advice I have is to be gentle, especially with PAPHS. most of the time they don't make that many roots to begin with (unless you are part of the rare few who can make them grow roots) so you want to minimize breakage. dead roots of course should be removed.

sometimes phrags root so well that you can't avoid breaking some. but those are the plants that will just form another dense rootball in your new pot anyway.

Very interesting topic. Thank you Diane
in addition, I announced a similar subject on a French forum : how to repot correctly without destroying roots ?
On the other hand, it is very difficult for me to translate.

I will write later on this forum the good ideas.
