The break-down of media is not the only reason for re-potting Paphs.

Roots put down by old grows die off, and new growths put out new roots. "Clearing out" the old is helpful to the plant, including aiding in air-flow, among other things. Also, if the plant is growing really well, the roots may out grow the pot and need a new environment.
