Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI have an indoor orchid. It’s in a very small pot that it came in. Last spring it bloomed and bloomed. I was so excited, but when the blooms finally fell off, it didn’t bloom any more. It then began growing these long root like legs coming out of the pot. I am going to repot it. Do I cut them off? They won’t fit into a normal pot, as the root legs are about 4-5 inches long. Help please. I don’t want to lose my orchid.
