.......It will?[b said:Quote[/b] (Wesley @ Feb. 13 2005,1:36)]If you by an orchid that doesn't have holes in the side of the pot or is in a plastic pot be VERY VERY careful about watering. If you aren't careful.... POOF it'll turn yellow and die. I know from a recent experience, and I am not gonna repeat that experience.

its best to put it in a new soil because when you buy an orchid the soil is usually decomposed or old[b said:Quote[/b] (Wesley @ Feb. 14 2005,9:16)][b said:Quote[/b] ]If it has any good roots, I'd repot it in new mix (whatever you like best).

Is a new soil nesesary? I can definately check the roots but I don't really see why I need to shock it by getting rid of the Sphagnum moss already there. I will be more than glad to get rid of the flower... it's not very pretty(it was a sale plant).
Looks can be deciving, my friend[b said:Quote[/b] (Wesley @ Feb. 15 2005,6:34)]It looks fairly fresh, like the moss is bright "white".
I would still repot it into fresh soil.[b said:Quote[/b] (Wesley @ Feb. 16 2005,4:01)]Well, I was examining it earlier this morning and I notice that a couple of the "stalks" have new leaves emerging. I think everything is going to be ok. LOL
