Hi, First post here. I repotted my orchids two weeks ago with orchid compost which had bee outside. A few days later I noticed flies - lots of flies and killed a many as I could. One of my orchids that I couldn't salvage was dying a the time. I could only put this down to flies laying eggs in the compost outside What I'm worried about is that my plants will be damaged. I have just purchased some new compost and not sure if I should repo them again so soon - but obviously don't want the flies to do any mor damage. Should I soak them in water in a bucket and repot them tomorrow? Do yo think they could handle more handling? Do you think they will b permanently damaged?
Very grateful for any advice :
