repot new Catts from moss now or wait?

11 years ago

I got a couple of Cattleyas and a Brassavola nodosa in moss at a show. Moss is not an appropriate medium, of course, but they came from a Thai vendor, so I guess they had very limited options acceptable to customs. Moss is probably better than bare root when it comes to tolerating transit.

Anyway, I'd like to get them all into Orchiata #5, which I guess is a good grade because those pots are only 2 and 3 inches wide.

I do not see that the roots are actively growing on any of these now (no surprise considering recent travel they went through), so I am not sure whether now is the right time to repot. They do look healthy though, and all three have young pseudobulbs that have not plumped up yet (only a nub of a new growth on the B. nodosa).

What would you do with them now, and what is the appropriate time to repot them?

Here are some pics, because why not. :-)
