Repotting Orchids and Ferns.

Repotting  Orchids

It is a good idea to divide orchids after finished flowering, I got a few cymbidium which need to be split and also to be repotted.
The creamy cymbidium orchid needs repotting, the pot has cracked because of the overload roots. Everything that I may need to do is there, pine bark, garden lime, blood and bone and potash. Somewhere in the backyard, I did it, I don't have orchid's house, just as well the cymbidiums are very hardy and easy to care for.

Dividing and Reporting Orchids

It was a large orchid, now it becomes three pots, two large pots and one small 

The three new repotted orchids look so good, they have new barks, added with lime and blood and bone. After they watering the three pots, let them rest for a while under the sun. The last step is adding slag bite. Then the process of reporting has done.

The orchids are ready to transfer to their place, which is a more relaxed spot and protected by the wind. They are labelled and looking good.

Dark Red Cymbidium

Other orchids which are repotted are dark red and mini cymbidium orchids.

The mini cascading cymbidium gives us pretty flowers every year, but we will miss them this coming year, as it won't be flowering after dividing.



I am so pleased to see that the new orchid plants look so fresh and clean.

We both have been so busy in the garden.

Rayner was busy cutting the hedges - my green wall, but unfortunately, the saw was broken.  We need a new one, I hated it when it happened.

You do need decent tools to get a good job done.



More dividing and re potting work to do, the fishbone fern is overgrown, it is root bound.


The fern does not look good, and it has been in the pot for a few years. Three pots I need for the Fern are here

Repotting Fern

Dividing the Fish Bone Fern.

 Two new potted ferns have been done, one more to go, I am sure it will be done by next week.

They are watered well, and they need some trimming and clean.

 The last fern has to be done soon, in the meantime, it is soaked in water.

I am looking forward to finishing off this job.  Other potted ferns in the garden are growing very well, what they need only regular watering.


Enjoy Your Garden, and Happy Gardening!
