Aniko, mounted orchids doesn't need 'repotting'. However, since the mounted orchid is in a pot (usually done to help increase moisture and humidity, especially in low humid. environments, and minimize watering), I would remove it from the pot and move it to another pot...that is, just the mounted orchid. I suggest rinsing off any potting media clinging on the mount and/or orchid before repotting.

By the way, I have a few mounted ones that I'll be placing in pots (as suggested by the grower...due to low humidity in my home) ...without removing the orchid from its mount.

Regarding repotting when the plant outgrows the mount, I guess I'll let someone else who's much more experienced in that area chime in.
