messmegan, in case no one else has identified your orchid, it looks to be a Dendrobium of some type, probably a hybrid.

You don't have to do anything, just let it grow. If you have not downloaded a culturesheet from the AOS (
American Orchid Society) or read it from this forum. Just give it the water and light it needs and let it go.

It looks like it is potted in a coir plug which is common for imported plants. Dendrobiums typically like to be pot bound so I would not think it needs to be repotted. To use your terms, Dendrobiums like to be "full" in their pot.

Like I said above, it looks like it is planted in a coir plug. A coir plug is a piece of coconut husk which is becoming more and more popular these days. It will not break down like other mixes so you will probably never need to remove the plant from the plug. Doing so would probably damage roots anyway. When the time comes to repot, when the plant is startign to overflow the pot, literally growing over the edge of the pot, you'll probably just ull it out of this pot and put it in a larger one and put your mix of choice to fill in the gaps.
