The best way to repot an orchid?

I was given an orchid as a house warming present a few years ago and last year after it had flowered the second stem seemed to die, it has turned brown and stick like! however the other stem is stil growing and producing new shoots. There is some roots on the surface of the pot and they look a bit dry and frazzled are they the 2nd stems roots? and if so will replanting the whole thing be best or should i trim back all the 'dead' stem and start again. I don't really have green fingers, but i did buy specialised compost and bigger pots for it. Thanks

i had the same problem last summer. i didn't do anything, didn't repot. just kept watering once a week. (and i had only one stem and had to cut if off because it became stick like, like yours) now there is a stem growing and i expect it to flower this spring. so don't get all your hopes down. orchids are great flowers :)))
Reply:good quality potting compost and stuff it in there. Try to get it straight. There you go, thats it.
Reply:Repotting and orchid not as hard as keeping it alive. Remember, it is never planted in dirt. Orchids like to have lots of mist and have roots exposed. That's why you often see them on limbs and planted in moss.
