| Ok I just brought an orchid but the container it came in is glass and it has no drainage hole in the container. What should I do? Should I repot it or just leave it alone? Please help! |

| If it's a phal you can repot. Phals don't mind being repotted while in bloom. |

| It does not matter what it is, if it's in a pot with no drainage it HAS to be repotted. Nick |

| It is a phal and I did repot it |
