I had to go up in pot size... the span of the roots after cleaning would not allow the plant to fit in the old pot without damaging good roots. I put a lot of marbles in the bottom for the plant to still stay somewhat confined. I used a mixture of bark (lots of bark) and charcol. I have two different feeds for the plant - one is designed to promote growth and is added until the new spike starts to bloom and the second is designed to promote healthy bloom cycle. What you see in the pictures is the orchid already trimmed.
I gave it a good water after all of this, and will be dumping the excess water several times until the orchid is well drained. I will feed it probably soon today. While the bark and roots are still soaking up the water and new bedding. I'll post pictures of the potted plant in a little bit.
