Now clean the roots of old media. This is a good time to examine your
orchids root system. Are there lots of roots? Are the roots firm and
white? If not, it could be a sign of problems. If the roots are
brown and/or decaying, the plant might be being over watered, or the media may
have broken down (in that case its a good thing you are repotting!). It is
ok if there are a few old brown roots mixed in among healthy ones. Take
this time to remove the decaying roots before continuing.
