You have already arrived at orchids anonymous. Unfortunately, none of us are on the wagon.

Yes, I'd repot now, were it me. They haven't been repotted long enough to even realize they changed media yet.

Agree with Waterwitchin. I would repot out of that mix and into BetterGro. I would then take the Miracle Grow, and put it in the garden. It does make good mulch for terestrials. I still haven't figured how this product remains on shelves with so many detractors.

It depends on the climate and conditions of your grow space whether this medium will work well for you. If your growing space is on the cooler, humid side and you have many cloudy days, you should re-pot into a different mix. If you have plenty of sun and heat (75'F +), with good air circulation, less humidity, just be certain not to use too large of a pot and it will likely work quite well (use a pot that just fits the roots).

Being careful to not damage the roots any more than they already probably have been, yes you can carefully repot them into a better product. I lay the pot on it's side and gently roll it around letting the plant come out without the roots dangling all over. Then gently repot it.
