Surprised by my lady slipper's roots

Wowwww… I knew when I brought her home that she was root-bound, but I had no idea!

It's a weird time of year to repot but she's been in bloom since I bought her in September, so I waited until today.

6ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
She went from a six-inch pot to a TEN today. Bananas!
Oh my she was definitely root bound. That's some #rootporn 😲
Oh my gosh! Poor thing!
Can you tell us how you repotted her? Did you use the special orchid vented pot? Do you use orchid bark? I’ll have to repot a huge one in the spring and am looking at options. Thanks!
