Potting ‘Raisin Pie’ Paphiopedilum Orchid - 4 yrs No Bloom!!

[BrklynOrchid]

Hello Everyone,

I have been dabbling in Orchids for about 6 years now. I bought this ‘Raisin Pie’ Paphiopedilum Orchid from Florida and it shipped bare root about 4 years ago. I planted it in an orchid pot with holes, the medium is bark and moss. I repotted a month or so ago with more moss because I was worried it was too dry.

I feed and water it regularly and while the leaves keep growing and multiplying it never blooms. All my other orchids bloom multiple times a year. I love this orchid and bought it because of the beautiful foliage. I am thinking maybe it's the potting that is the issue? I have seen really successful ones in pots like this (PHOTO INCLUDED) but I'm not sure what the medium would be in this kind of set up or how it works without drainage?
