Is this a cymbidium? If it is, I have a few questions

The ones that I’ve bought as single pseudobulbs have needed a few years of growth before they were ready to flower again for me. The pseudobulb should not be buried and you can cut spent spikes. If you let them dry up first, the plant will re-absorb any remaining nutrients.

I'm limited to sphagnum and coconut husk. I can't get decent bark. I'll wait a bit to see if I get other responses and if not I guess I'll have to experiment.

I’ve purchased several very nice Cymbidiums that were grown in coconut husk chips so that may actually be a good option. See: https://www.cymbidium.org/documents/...enBatchman.pdf

I can see no reason to repot that plant at the moment. The bark looks in good condition and the pot is large enough to contain this year's growth. Of your two options I would use coconut husk when it is time to repot.

It's not potted in bark really, it's just the very top. It seems to be fine coconut coir
