I've bought many orchids from Trader Joes and never saw a bug of any kind. You will get all kind of answers about repotting. Personally, I'd leave it the way it is and just water lightly when it is dry. It probable has a clear pot so you can see the nice green roots once you water it. This time of year they may go a couple of weeks between water. But the bottom line is to do what you are comfortable doing as far a potting mix. Over the years I've repotted many orchids in bloom. Almost none of them skip a beat, especially phals.

I too am a window sill grower and four of my new orchids are from Trader Joe's. I always remove the moss carefully with a little pick and tweezers and repot in coarse bark because I had bad luck once in the past with moss. It gives me a chance to remove any rotten roots and it is easier to maintain a watering schedule if all of my orchids are in the same medium.

Thanks for the replies. I Think I will give it a few days to see if the spag starts to dry out some. Right now the roots are looking nice and green and maybe they just watered it today that's why it seems so wet.

I may try to put a few extra holes in the pot as this one its in only has one hole.

I've seen a few people put holes in the sides of the pots too, I may try to do that with the point of a hot glue gun, rather than a hot nail.

As a window sill grower, I've been pretty lucky with my Phals. I was hoping that Trader Joes would have had something different than a phal just so I could test my skills.

Bouldegrower, do you take your further away from the winter in the winter or do have a way to keep them warm on the sills?

If it is in the thin, clear plastic type pot, I use a straight edge and slice slits along the side to let more air in. You migh damage roots using a glue gun. Maybe not, never tried that.

I vote to leave it be, just let it drain and dry out.

Good luck,
Jane

This year they will be next to the sill in two of these (they are big):

I got the deluxe ones with drain holes. I put a piece of fleece cloth over the hole and dump in an inch or so of gravel from Home Depot at about $4 for 50 lb. When I drench the orchids every two weeks I drain any excess water from the planter but leave enough in for humidity. I also cut the legs shorter on one so its top is flush with the sill. All of my orchids were outside on a fairly shaded porch in these planters this summer.

If it gets much below freezing outside I lower the window blinds at night but I do have double pane windows.

The one in this picture that I just snapped has the legs shortened and is in a west window.

I always drill holes in my pots. Sure you have to be careful but it's fast and easy.

Jane, yes it's in a flimsy clear pot, since it is a thin plastic, I think I will just do,what you do, and a few slits with a knife and watch I don't hit any roots.

Bouldergrower , that's a nice set up you have!! I have double pane windows but being in PA freezin temps are the norm from November till end of March! I think I left mine on the sills all winter, only those that had blooms were moved from the sills.

I haven't added anything to increase the humidy, I have radiant heat so my house isn't super dry in the winter. I've read that humidity trays help and I've also read they don't do a thing! Lol. I guess with orchids you try many methods and see what works best in your own home.
I'm now sorry I gave my sister a nice long double shelved planter, I could use it this year since I have so many more orchids.
