Before repotting take all that moss out. Usually leave in the same size pot, unless you had a large amount of root growth. I would go to the local store and get Miracle Grow large bark orchid mix. I use it all the time. Pick out the big pieces and do not use the sediment and little pieces. Hold your plant above the pot in place and put the bark in all around it. Try to make the plant sit tightly in the pot at the same level that it was. I always wait another day or 2 before watering, as the roots will heal better from the repot.
