    Default Phal Spike-repotting question

    I would first like to say that this is a great forum and in the little time since I have joined this group, I've learned so much so thank you.

    I noticed that my first Phal(bought it last year in bloom) was very untidy in its pot and bending sideways with most of it roots outside the media, so I decided to re-pot it one month ago so I followed the advice from this forum, except for one thing I know that I should not have done it, but I re-potted in the same bark media, since I could not find any suppliers in my area. I washed it many times and even took out parts of the media that I didnt like. Anyways, I finally found a supplier who will ship coconut husks which I should receive in a couple of days. Anyways, my question is, can I re-pot now again in new media, knowing that a spike already started growing two weeks after re-potting?(sorry close up pictures of spike are not so clear)

    I am very happy that there is a spike now and I do not want to ruin any chance of it blooming for me this year if I re-pot it again. So, what do you guys think?

    Thanks a lot

    Fadi
