or what about net pots made of something like burlap netting so that it would kind of disintegrate in about a years time?

Intriguing but I have enough trouble with my mix itself degrading…

With this plant i may have an issue with root loss because there are so many. Other plants slip out quite easily with carefull encourage. Most repotting i just knock out the old and add new leaving the pot and plant as is.

Why don't you use an inorganic medium like you do with other plants, Rick ? This would reduce repotting to a minimum .... only when tha plant grew too big for the pot.
Of course impressive roots an a plant with lovely flowers.

It is about a 50/50 mix of sponge rock and LARGE Orchiata now. This philie has been in this basket since 9/2016. Last Oct I knocked out the old and added new. Never took it out of the basket. Six years is pretty good.

PS. If anyone is having issues with stonei this works wonders.
