I agree Tim. About repotting, I repot when I'm in doubt*** or when plants grow over the edge of the pot, like pseudobulbs that are hanging over the pot and the roots have no way to go but have to stay in the air.
*** In doubt about root quality, a medium that stays too wet too long for my liking etc.
I always choose the smallest pot that the plant fits in, with for some species/hybrids room for 2 years of growth (Oncidium for instance, or Dendrobium's). Where I live winters are dark and cold and the smaller the pot compared to root mass, the faster the medium dries. It helps me not to over water. During the summer months that means a lot of watering for me, but I like that anyway LOL This is what works for me.
