repotting an oncidium currently in reg potting mix?

[carriek]

Thanks!

I think I don't need to repot, then. There's some new growth, but it's still little (1-2 inches long/tall) and no sign of roots. There's also still plenty of space in the top of the pot, where the new groth can spread out ansd not run into existing branches / pseudobulbs / stems.

I was really more concerned about the potting medium looking like regular potting soil than crowding - or at least I was until I pulled the plant out of the pot. At least all the roots that I can see wrapped around the inside of the pot look healthy? It sounds like I should probably leave it as is, as long as it continues to do well and be healthy, but to definitely repot it after it stops putting out new growth (which I hope will also include new flowers!).

I'll try to get some pictures tonight with my ever handy cellphone.

Thanks again for all the input, advice and visual aids!
