I agree with the others who've stated that Neofinetia falcata is a hardy and (generally) no-fuss species, especially compared to most vandas. One question for you: Are you giving your plant a cool and dry(ish) winter rest? At this time of year this species is generally dormant, with minimal root and leaf growth, so a medium that retains more moisture (like NZ sphagnum) will probably be more beneficial to your plant next spring when it comes out of its dormancy and initiates a new flush of roots, instead of the middle of winter. The species is adapted to warm, wet monsoonal weather during the spring through fall months, followed by a cool (and even cold) and dry winter. The time of year and the plant's associated seasonal habits should dictate when to repot, if possible. And since giving it a cool/dry winter rest will encourage it to flower next spring, I'm not sure I would try a major repotting project right now (this, however, is just an opinion based on my personal experience with this species). Good luck with your plant.
