Hi! I won a Cymbidium at my orchid society meeting. It is planted in potting soil and in a pot which I believe is too big. I was going to order a Cymbidium potting mix online but the shipping cost alone was over $15.00. I have a "Paph and seedling mix" already and I was wondering if you think it would be ok for the Cymbidium:

Fine fir bark
Perlite
Charcoal
Fine sphagnum moss

I am sure you will get a dozen, different, complicated answers, but for now, what you have on hand is fine. However, if you can wait until spring, I would hold off re-potting until then. Also what you may consider "soil" may actually be an orchid planting media based on ingredients similar to what you already have or a Coco husk product.

if you will send me a private message, I will send you the complete re-potting instructions for Cyms which the Gold Coast Cymbidium Growers club in Northern California uses for all its seminars and workshops.
