Springtails in all orchids

14 years ago

Hello. I have been reading here for a while but never posted. First thank you very much. I have learned a lot from you. I hope it's ok I am going to ask a bunch of questions.

I live in Quebec Canada and I have springtails in all my orchids. They are staring to increase in numbers as it's getting warmer and more humid the last few weeks.

I am thinking about washing them down with soap and repotting them all. Can I repot the one that is currently blooming? If I don't repot the blooming one what is the chance of it infesting again the other ones? They are all in the same room.

I have been watering once a week. I water by lifting insert out, soaking for 1 minute, let drain for a few hours then back in pot. Since I live in a humid climate would you recommend extending watering periods?

Do you have any other recommendations?
