I have been looking at these guys for a bit with a little trepidation and the long read controlling wisdom is DO NOT TOUCH THE ROOTS as i have learned from the internet.
I was reading the AOC culture sheet on these guys and it says they want to be repotted EVERY YEAR?!?!?!

Psychopsis are intolerant of stale conditions at their roots and benefit from annual repotting, especially in bark mixes. The roots of these plants are fine and subject to salt burn if the potting medium is not regularly flushed with pure water. Because of their fat pseudobulbs, cultural problems can go undetected until significant damage has been done.

so, how can one avoid disturbing the roots while repotting annually? i will likely get one of these and grow it in lava rock mostly because i don't like to repot and with inorganic media i don't have to but i am still confused about this contrasting set of instructions
DONT disturb the roots - OR - Is the AOS wrong?
