I've got this orchid that looks like it is trying to escape the pot. It doesn't seem to like more than 4 leave and currently has 7 with a new one starting and 4 are starting to die off. When these eventually die off, it will have quite a long bare stem with a lot of roots coming out of it.The latest flower spike has about 18 flowers/buds developing on it and is quite long and twisty.
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get it back in the pot? I was thinking, when it has finish flowering, whether I could take it out of its pot, trim its roots back and then put it back in the pot about 4" further down that it is?
Or what is the best way to tidy it up?
