Potting up my Speciemen Cattleya

[k_andreev]

Just finished my surgery with my giant Cattleya yesterday,they try to go out from the rim of old pot,you can see from root bound.i like to have a speciemen size so I looked around for a bigger pot to put.
The orchids itself grow all direction ,so I plant them in the center of the new pot.enough room to grow for a couple year

Good work there Kitty.
Recently I also made the move to nursery field pots for my large specimen cattleyas.
Now, when I want to move them, the weight is all plant as those plastic pots weigh nothing and when it's time to up-pot them again, no remorse about having to cut the pot into pieces to get the plant out! It's been working great for me.

I agree about cutting pot in piece,not to damage any roots or new bulb.i was scare when I saw root bound like that but I’was success,only trouble with returning the pot to the same place.luckily I have small cart to carry it
