Switch out from moss to lava rocks or diatomite.
The species, Dendrobium phalaenopsis, are primarily lithophytes in the wild.

Should I wait to repot it until after it has flowered? Would it hurt it to put it in some bark or CHC or a combination therein?

No winter rest, tho media can be slightly drier in winter.
I've not had problems repotting mine in spring when there is new growth.
Does that pot drain?

I only have CHC and bark with perlite/charcoal mixed into it - do you think if I did a combo of all of that it would be okay, or can I just put it in bark, or??

Also, on the last picture, the cane in that photo is sort of wrinkled as opposed to plump - is that normal? The moss that the dendro is currently potted in is moist, so I don't think it's a lack of water thing. Should I pull it out and look at its roots, or just leave it? I don't want to upset it and make it drop all of its pretty flowers.
