I am going to weigh in on the repotting. For me, spag has never worked out. I have killed more plants then I care to count using it. The pros use it but they can carefully monitor all aspects of watering. The advanced orchid grower has a passion, maybe an obsession, with all aspects of growing. For me, and many others like me, I have a tendency to water everything at the same time at the same rate. Done, finished, go on to the next gardening chore. this method does not lend itself to using spag. Either its to dry or to wet. Usually to wet and the roots rot. I mix my own potting mix that suits my style of growing. Bark, rock, coconut chip, and a little charcole. IT works for me.
