Tips
The best time for planting orchids is at the end of rest period. Take care while planting to not damage the brittle roots. The root crown has to be at the level of pot edge. Substrate should not be compressed so, if needed, use support stick to keep the plant upright.
After planting do not water 3-5 days to allow damaged tissues to dry
