Question: Degarmoara Shibumi 'Purple Rain'
Default Question: Degarmoara Shibumi 'Purple Rain'

I picked up a Degarmoara Shibumi 'Purple Rain' at the Santa Ana Zoo orchid show in September. It's in bloom, beautiful, and I can provide the conditions it likes long term. It has 4 large pseudobulbs and one older tiny one, all feel firm with minimal wrinkles.

It's in a 6-inch pot and looks to be growing in small bark that has broken down considerably. The bark on top looks good, but an inch down looks like compost. The pot gets significantly heavier after watering and stays wet/damp for longer than I would expect if the bark was still in serviceable condition.

I know it's best to repot these types when a new growth is about to put out roots but since there is no new growth in sight, is it better to leave it in broken-down medium and baby it over the winter or carefully repot it out of season?
