Your bulbs appear to be in clumps, which is good. The smallest clump appears to be three, which is good. Leave these clumps together, and pot them in the smallest pots you can find that will just accommodate the roots, and no bigger. Too big a pot will have too much medium in it that can stay wet and rot the roots.
Orchids love packing peanuts. Years back there was a couple who grew fantastic orchids solely in packing peanuts. Make sure they're not the kind that disolve. |
Well you have a lot of potential new plants there. They all look pretty healthy to me. Just take care when you re-pot to use a good medium & get a lot of potting medium around the roots to support the leaf structure, keep an eye on them. I would guess the surviving plants will be kind of stressed for a while, but they are all quite resiliant, I've found that my errors are visable for months or years, but the plants recover nicely. Good luck.

Thanks everyone. I just potted up 9 today. Only about 9 more to go! Whew... I bought the orchid mix from Lowes and used some packing peanuts for the bottom third. I set them out of the sun in my patio and I think they will do ok. I will feel better when they get anchored in their pots. Now I will have to get some more medium for the rest of them. At least the peanuts helped keep the cost of medium down some.
