Ideally, orchids should be repotted immediately after flowering. Any plant that is potted in decomposed, packed bark should be repotted immediately. Most orchids need to be repotted once every 1 to 2 years. The bark or moss that the orchids are grown in gradually deteriorates. If repotting is not done, the bark or moss become decomposed and packed down.

When fresh rooting activity is expected (generally in the spring) or is very evident, generally every one or two years. Fresh rooting activity is best shown by the nice green root tips on plump white roots. Often, the main "flush" of rooting will come from the base of the plant (in the case of phalaenopsis), or from the developing newest growth (in the case of dendrobiums and other orchids with pseudobulbs.

The short answer to this question is an easy one: you repot the plant when it needs it, whether it's spring, summer, winter or fall.

Water plants once every 7 to 10 days. Some orchids prefer to be kept on the moist side. This does not mean that the orchid like to be left in standing water.

A good sign of a plant being root bound is to see roots growing out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the grow pot. Tap the plant out of the pot to see if the root mass is dense. If it is, repot into a larger pot. The new pot should be no larger than 1 to 2 inches more than the original one.
