I bought a Phal from Lowes the other day. It's in flower and I know if I repot it now, I will probably lose the blooms, but it has been in this pot for at least a year according to the attached tag, and the potting medium smells mildewy. If I don't repot it now, will the plant die because of the mold? Please advise, I'm a newbie with orchids!
Thanks!
It looks like sphagnum moss, but it's kinda funky looking, there may be some bark in there.

I will be repoting my orchid this weekend and wanted to know what's best, moss or bark? I also read that I can use bark and mix in some moss, about 20%; is this true? I got the orchid as a gift and the pot it came in doesn't have the holes at the bottom so it's retaining too much water. Two of my leafs died already =( Thanks!

I bought a small orchid from trader joes the other day.
It is in a small pot, and has 3 flowers on it at the moment.
I need to know how to take care of it.
How much water, how often? Sun exposure? Anything else I should know?
Thanks.
