This guy is the real deal.hes right to the point and makes sense 100% of the time. Wastes no time telling you the most Important parts.
thank you for this video Brad, yes the big cattleyas are a time consuming when is about to repott but what a reward with their huge flowers.
Brad, i really enjoy your videos and i've learned so much MORE from watching you versus simply reading articles. your attention to every detail is awesome. thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us.
***** thanks! happy to be able to help! thanks for watching!
Thank you I just ordered to Cattelyas and I'm looking forward to repotting them if if need be.
Mulțumiri din Roânia🙏👏👏👏
Thanks Brad! Great vid .. as always! X
Excellent job Brad.
Watched the whole video and enjoyed every minute, I also have cattleyas, dendrobiums, cymbidiums, miltonias etc.... I have learned a lot from these
videos. Thank you so much for helping out beginners like me.
Hilda Rivera your welcome!

Thanks, Brad- about to repot a monster cattleya- very helpful!
love This!
Very good repotting video, Brad! I like all the different types of Cattleyas but a multi growth large flowered Cattleya in full bloom is breathtaking! I look at repotting these beasts is the price you pay for their beauty.
Wade Hollenbach totally agree!
As always nice video....beautiful catt
ivy geerman thanks ivy!
Nice video. I think this is great for beginners.
Thank you! This will be the first time I report my Cattleya ^______^
Thật tuyệt vời, cảm ơn anh chia sẻ kinh nghiệm hay và hiệu quả
British Columbia is a place close to Alaska. Your orchids are so good planted and healthy. Great work
Yk Tam thanks but I am 3500km away from the nearest city in Alaska or a 45 hour drive non stop....I am not very close to Alaska lol 😆
Thank you!
thank you!
Very nice Cattleya. I watched some orchid repotting videos by OrchidMania (the first is at this url: The Orchid Doctor - How to Replant an Orchid Part 1 - orchidmania south florida), and the gentleman used what he called a "tickle tool" that he'd fashioned from wire to tease out old fir bark from the roots of orchids. I made one from a bit of coat hanger wire, and it was pretty helpful when I divided and repotted my Dendrobium nobile this year.
interesting idea, thanks for sharing!
Brad,
Thank you so much for creating this video. It encouraged me to tackle my large, unruly Cattleya that was in dire need of being repotted! It turned out great and it had a surprising amount of healthy roots as well.
I am growing under lights and am hoping for a first rebloom at the end of the year ... crossing fingers :-)

M Phillips awesome! im sure it will love you for the repotting!

Ha! I have that same cat. A discount rescue 19.99 marked down from $80. I also discovered Hausermann's is local and welcome retail. Road trip!
Well done, as always. I'm still experimenting on my Cattleya mix. I've been using a combination of the obligatory large chunks of bark, large pieces of perlite, and a generous helping of agricultural charcoal. I may give styrofoam a shot in the near future. I've also been using terra cotta clay pots with holes in the sides, because they dry out more quickly. But I agree with you on the whole 'root cling' issue... I'll probably go with (clear) plastic from now on.
frzzlfry66 Thanks!, I did clear pots for the last 18 months or so on alot of orchids, the only problem is in the bright sun they are all turning green inside from the ferts and water. not hurting any thing...
Nice video. Thanks for all the tips on repotting. I can't seem to flower mine. My vandas flower but not my cattleyas. Not giving up though. Hope you had great Friday.
Linda Watson thanks Linda, Number one reason Orchids don't bloom is lake of light. try to increase it by 10-20%
Always informative, Brad, and I thank you for posting. I've just brought into my collection a kind of sick cattleya. I have three other cattleya in my collection that are doing well. I wasn't sure what roots to cut as some or maybe many were papery in feeling. Is spraying a sick cattleya roots with 3% peroxide wrong? I placed her inside moss into a clay pot of which I just may place her inside a plastic pot with many drainage holes. I've had the horrible experience of roots sticking to clay pots....not a nice thing to do in taking the roots off the pot...ouch!
I have a purple cascade! It's nowhere near that large, though. If you're looking for orchid suggestions, I'd recommend a chiloschista. I'm having a lot of fun with mine, they're so weird/interesting. And you have a great environment for one.
oogalaboo never seen one before, ill have to keep my eyes open
Hi Brad- thanks for the informative video. I’ve just started growing cattleyas and find your direction very understandable and helpful. I live in Toronto and I’m having some difficulty finding sources for my growing orchid hobby. Any advice? Thanks again!
Peter Photopoulos- If you mean sources for supplies, RePotMe and Kelleys Korner are good in the USA and I'm sure they would ship to Canada.
Hi Brad, Love your repotting videos. Got a question. When the roots start to grow out of the pot on orchids and are hanging over, should I repot tucking them all inside bark?
Joseph schlusberg I would leave the air roots outside the pot, more than likely potting the roots that grow in air just kills them.
Thanks for your tips Brad, but I suppose the biggest unanswered question is why you use the medium you do? Some people recommend an inorganic medium, others use chips of cocoanut, others bark, some say styrofoam is useless, etc. It would be very helpful to have the benefit of why you make the medium choices you do. Best wishes.
I enjoyed this video....How to separate the orchids ?
Very helpful video. How do you assess the dryness of an orchid planted in a non-clear pot? I purchased a paphiopedilum and a mini cattleya today, both in the standard green plastic pots. The cattleya is so root bound that there is no place for me to stick my finger in. Until the plants get repotted, how do you suggest that I assess the dryness of the medium? Thanks!
Thanhyou
How do you feel about putting a cattleya such as you just re potted into full water culture? I just did that today because the cattleya looked very bad, very leathery and light green
I am trying to increase my knowledge of growing catts. Brad, after you finished potting, l noticed that you didn't stake the large catt. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.

Thanks for the styrofoam tip - now I have something to do with my left over bean bag balls.
Hi Brad
I bought a mature cattleya directly fr a well-known grower directly fr their gardens. Should I still repot or leave it in what they used. I also bought seedlings where the are in small pebbles. What's your thoughts? Thanks.
It looks really good. I think that cattleyas are the most beautiful orchids. I like using clay pots for my cattleyas because they are heavy enough for stability and allow the roots to breathe. I've never had a problem with the roots sticking to the pots. Should that happen, I would simply break the pot the next time that I repot it.
amourdeparis yeah, I would break the pot if it was to happen as well. thanks for the comment and happy growing
Hi Brad,
Loved the video.I was wondering if it ever occured to you while you were cleaning
up the catt to divide it into two plants.You can add to your collection or have an extra
catt to trade with someone else in your orchid society.
Ally
Ally Krigger totally occured to me but I don't have the space for that and I don't get to many meeting to trade :(
2 minutes in after the video started, I wanted to subscribe to your channel! You explain calmly, and provide relevant and useful information, and things you show are filmed from a good angle for us to see. So many horticulture how-to videos on UA-cam, but yours are one of the bests. Plus, you're a fellow Canadian :) Keep up the good work.
+Phytoxane thanks Phytoxane!

I have a question is it alright that I just repotted my cattleya yesterday in the middle of SeptemberI just got a new pseudobulb around june. I'm worried that potting right now might not make her happy and die, but I really didn't have much choice. Because of all the rain in south Florida she had some mushrooms growing on the media. she's now bare root in a rubber coated wire basket with some spanish moss here and there to keep some moisture but im just going to grow her bare root like the rest of my orchids. most of which were rescues and they seem to have skyrocketed this season.
wrinkling pseudobulbs means u need to water them probably, depending on
how dry the media is. your best bet is to look at the Media and see how dry it is.
cattylahs go to a very wet to a very dry. they need that water to make the peudobulbs when dry. i hope that's good info got these details from a orchid book.
Very good info! Thanks for sharing with everyone
I can't grow cattleyas anymore. I always forget to water them, and when I do remember, it is after I've watered my entire collection of orchids or carnivorous plants (hundreds of plants for both). They actually die of dehydration for me.
***** yeah, the Cattleya's I have mounted are always dehydrated as well. I would alter your media mix a bit and add more sphagnum moss. It isn't right for everyone but it buys you time in between waterings if needed
I don't have any more and don't plan on ever getting another cattleya due to past disappointment. Currently, I'm obsessed with cacti, outdoor orchids, pinguicula and edible plants.
Brad, are you using fir bark that is sold for landscaping?
do you never leave the core of the roots there ? they might still absorb water ..
Hi Brad! I have a Cattleya that has a couple of leaves that have turned reddish at the tips. Any idea's? Is this ok?
How did you make your styrofoam? Could I make it from breaking up our foam cups.?
Should I make repotting or dividing a Cattleya plant while it's blooming?
I live in a very hot and humid area(winters are colder but no snow or anything). Would you suggest less miss? I've tried so many times to have orchids and some have lasted for months.. But they never seem to last forever. Around here all of them come in 100% moss.
I have also had fuzzy white things develop on the leaves of my phals... Not sure what these are? Bugs or mold?
hey brad i have a question... i have some carnivorous plants and i accidentally put them in the sun for too long so will they die? if i can save them what should i do?
Leone Cruz shouldn't die, unless you cooked them. the burnt leaves wont recover but the new growth will be fine
My step mom gave me a cat. My 1st one ever, I've had it for 10-12 months never re potted it , I tend to neglect orchids I don't know much about. ..but now it has new growth about 2-3 inches long, should I go ahead and re pot now?
I've had the same cattleya for 8 years. It's made several new growths, but the ones from the year before always dries up and dies...and it's never bloomed.
+Christy Osborne Not Sure 🤔 sounds like a rot maybe
Do it re-blooming on the same cane again?
Hi Ihave a question why is my cattleya have a wrinkle pseudobulbs? ANY IDEA?
Is the Purple cascade the same as Monte Elegante?
Each root u cut is a new orchid plant correct?
Hey Brad, The name is pronounced Kat-Lee-Uh not Kadd-A-Lay-Uh.
Small pat
I didn't see where the new little pseudobulb and its new roots ended up. Were they covered by the potting mix? Also, I've been given some catalayas that are not growing straight up. They're growing horizontally. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. Should I, or can I straighten them out? They sure isn't as pretty and the upright plants are.
The new bulb is just above the media, ( I hope) haha. I wouldn't worry to much if your old bulbs are horizontal as long as the new ones come up straight
***** Wow! Fast response! Thank you.
My orchid root white and yellow
Laura Schmidt Awesome 😊
Please some body can tell me.. Whats that white things mixed with coco cheat.
It's been three days now since I sent my question, will I get an answer or are they random??
Joseph schlusberg I answer questions once a week as I have other things that I have to do, like a full time job and new born baby. Between face book and UA-cam I Have 15,000 friends and Subscribers... I get sometimes get dozens of comments, PM's and questions per day that I take time out of my week to answer. I try my best to answer everyone so If your question didn't get flagged as SPAM i'll probably see it shortly and reply.
My orchid leaves are falling off
CAN YOU DIVIDED THE ORCHID?
Not by pseudobulb
YOU LIVE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA!!!!!!! lucky :(
Leone Cruz best place in Canada! Where are you?
I'm no where near there i live in Los Angeles that's why my plants got sunburned hehe but i was planing to move up there! but i have a lot of plants but i don't know if i can take them to Canada.
Repotting using the same pot?? Whats the point?
Nice new fresh potting medium. Remember he said the old stuff rots and gives off acid that burns the roots, and when the bedding collapses, the holes disappear and orchids need lots of holes for oxygen getting to the roots. They are epiphitic and need lots of air.
Pot is too small for such a BIG plant
Thank you. I by no means tried to impose on your time. I just didn't know if I posted it right. That's all.
Not to worry, have a great night!
Like the video, but I've got to advocate lava Perlite over Styrofoam Peanuts. I don't feel those things are good for the planet.
When in doubt, I tend to stay organic.
styrofoam just not attractive. I guess Charcoal and Coconut husk makes more sense. You repotted but you didnt even Split the plant. No propaganting happned.
