Do you have to repot it when you receive it or just leave it in its pot?

Hi Sharon, I left it in the pot it came in. I will repot it after one blooming cycle. My plant looks very healthy and was packaged with great care.

I didn't repot it yet. I will probably order a warm pot from the same place and repot it after it blooms.

I still have not repotted my sharry baby. I have placed it in a larger pot more for decoration. Orchids like their bottoms in tight places.

I did, about a week later. Bought an orchid clay pot, Oncidium soil mix and orchid plant spikes. All are sold a Home Depot. My orchid is still going strong. Lots of new growth.

You don't have to when you first receive it, I did mine though not long after and it's doing great.

You can leave it in its pot. You may have to possibly repot in the future though.

I'm sure you could put it in the top wrack, but I just do a quick hand wash as I make a new pot. Rinses clean, maybe once a week I'll use the vegetable brush on it to gently remove any stubborn grounds.

It is not meant to stay in the plant pot. It is for testing the soil only to see if it needs to be watered. If it has disintegrated, throw it away and get another. They are reasonable. But use it as a tester only!

Yes, the only problem I have is forgetting its hot and grabbing it with my bare hand. When I remove the pot from the oven I always leave a potholder on top as a reminder.

If you bought it already,,, then no. I did not repot it. I did however give this a bad review. It arrived without any fruit, not even a bud or a blossom. After a full season it still has no blossom. So read their ad with caution before you buy.

No, the pot is not made to come off. It could be taken off with a wrench. It's actually better to just wipe it clean and not wash it except every few uses. It works kind of like stoneware, it's better for the pot to be "seasoned" as it helps it pop more efficiently.

It comes with a plastic pot - same one as in the picture. Based on my experience with this plant it is best to buy a clay pot, not a glazed one (you can put a clay pot inside a glazed one for decoration purposes). Buy a small pot first and let it outgrow it before switching to a bigger one. Never overwater the plant - best way is to put water on the saucer and let the plant "drink" as much as it needs to, once or twice a week usually is enough. If there is any leftover water on the saucer just discard it. Hope that helps.

We keep ours in water all the time, fill a Tupperware container with water and put the pot in it. Also keep it out of direct sunlight. Ours is growing like wildfire, and we got it 2 years ago. It was doing poorly until we decided to keep it in water all the time. Hope this helps

Hi nancy, i bought mine and about 3 years ago and from the first year it gave flowers, it has continually done so since, i have it in a pot. I hope this helps.

I kept mine in their original pots for a few days. I put them on a tray since the pots have holes and I watered them. Hope that helps!

You can clean it when u r done. I just wipe down when I am done. I haven't clean the pot part yet. Every 6 month is good for the pot part.

Good question, I just got one and I think I will run it dry in late fall and fill with fresh, I have been told to keep it full to prevent rust.

Leave it in. When reheating, just take the pot off the burner before it boils and percs again. By the way, the reheated second cup is just as good (or better) than the first cup.

Definitely put it in another pot. You want to have about 5 extras inches of dirt around the roots so they have room to grow. Be cautious that you may be getting fruit flies. Mine produced a ton of lemons in the first year but I hated the fruit flies. They breed in the soil and are difficult to get rid of. When you see the first one, start taking action

You can keep it in the packaging for as long as you'd like, even if you open it. Once you use it, though, be sure to squeeze out excess water by placing it between your palms and pressing (wringing it out may decrease lifespan of the product) and hang in a dry place until next use. Hope this helps!

No, you do not. The plant comes in a small pot and the plant will thrive in a small pot.

I wondered that myself but didn't want to take the chance so I opened the box and followed the instructions and I plan on repackaging right before the holidays. It was very easy to just remove the plant and soak it. I keep it still in the box near a window for some light. I got them a couple of weeks ago and they look great!
