New plant from Chelsea! Unfortunately one of the flowers came off, probably as I attempted to take my goodies home on the tube... So here's a picture of it :)

Gorgeous , they showed some fab orchids on the tv @lisa_perry
Any ideas how to pot this bad boy?! The roots are about a metre long!
@lisa_perry Don't know this plant so cannot advise When I'm repotting anything houseplant or garden plant I usually trim the roots within reason to fit inside the pot. The orchid experts say that when roots are starting to grow out of the pot it's time to repot & trim dead roots. That looks an amazing plant. You must post a pic after it's repotted. I'm surprised your repotting when it's flowering so well.You get best flowers from pot bound plants but of course you have to keep watering them 👍🏻
Thanks for the reply @angipangi I didn't actually try to repot the plant, I bought it like this from Chelsea!!! It's growing in a tray with wire attached that I've used to hang it in the shower.
@lisa_perry You lucky so & so. Just googled it after I sent the message and it grows in places without soil at all just hanging from rocks and crevices. Doesn't stand any kind of cold but says it's very easy to look after.Should be kept as a houseplant& repotted in bark just like the supermarket orchids. I must go & read some more about. I'm so envious of you. It's a stunner. Let's see the full pic of the flowers next. The colour is tip top. 👌🏻
