I just bought a beautiful orchid plant from Walmart for $14.95. It's planted in an 8 inch tall plastic container with a smaller clear liner of some kind inside. Does it need repotting now? What kind of potting medium would you use in the basket above. I like that look. How do you know when an orchid needs a bigger pot?

I've only had one orchid as a gift about 10 years ago and I didn't know how to care for it and it died.
I want this one to live and grow. It has five blooms that are have dark fuschia colored petals with white speckles on them. Sooooooo pretty !!!!

Thanks for this cubit and these forums. I need a lot of information.
