How long should i soak orchid bark?

[en3rmax]

Hi there,

I think it's time to repot one of my orchids as the medium had broke down, i've just had my orchid accessories come, some 12cm air cone pots some multi purpose orchid mix medium small douglas fir bark, sponge rock and foam, and some focus orchid feed for blooming.

my question is how long shound i soak the bark before potting to take on enough water, i've got it in water now.

thanku very much for the info guys & gals.
