Looking for advice on repotting my orchid. I received my orchid as a gift last year, however hadn’t quite known how to care for it until I got this app! Because of this - it’s never been repotted and the roots look desperate for more space. Does anyone have any recommendations for best pots for orchids? Also best way to repot without shocking or damaging the orchid? Thank you!

There are specific orchid pots that have a lot of drainage holes on the sides. For orchids, I like watching videos on YouTube of how best to repot

You can buy clear plastic orchid pots on Amazon, the reason why this is necessary is because the roots photosynthesise! They also like a lot of airflow so orchid bark :)
