1) Absolutely repot! Meanwhile, while you are getting your materials together, wash all the mix off the roots and remove or shorten any roots which are soft or rotten. Allow to dry 24 hours before placing in a zip lok bag with a little moisture.
2) Do not use potting soil as it is too heavy.
3) Use a mix of 80% fine and medium (50%/50%) fir bark or coco husk chips and 20% large perlite.
4) If you are really serious about learning how to properly repot Cyms, privately send me a contact email where I can send you the repotting instructions which I wrote and were published in the CSA Journal several years ago. it is also the procedure we use for the annual Hands on Workshop for the Gold Coast Cymbidium Growers, a branch of the CSA, in San Mateo California. It answers virtually all the questions which arise in repotting a Cymbidium. I have sent this to many members on this Forum.
