- Select a pot with good drainage holes, only slightly larger than the current pot.
- Partly fill the new pot with Yates Speciality Potting Mix Orchids.
- Invert the pot and gently tap the orchid out. Remove any dead or damaged roots.
- Place the orchid in the new pot, add more of the mix around the plant and gently pat down. Do not plant the orchid deeper than the original bark level.
- Water thoroughly and allow to drain.
