Hi Jacki,
I have a book called "Four Seasons of Orchids" by Greg Allikas & Ned Nash that has a nice 2 page spread on how to repot a paph. I've repotted 2 now, both into bark/perlite.
What's interesting is that the roots are really woody. I took the first one out of the square pot, and they stayed square and I could stand it up on it's bare roots. It took me awhile to separate out the remaining media. I just did the first one 2 weeks ago, so I can't say if I've been successful or not.
I'm a newbie by the way. I'm really drawn to the paphs and phrags.
