Looks like coir. It may stay too wet in your home in that.

Thank you!

I would remove it and repot in orchid bark.

#### Kim68710 replied on 2024-12-31

I thought I was supposed to wait since it is blooming?

#### Samantha replied on 2024-12-31

I would wait, but repot as soon as it's done flowering.

#### Two Green Thumbs replied on 2024-12-31

Agreed
