I've been buying seedlings recently and one of them, a Paph kolopakingii var.topperii, came in S/H. I grow in a CHC mix, but I am reluctant to move the plant out of the mix because it looks so happy and I am afraid that I will send it into shock. S/H scares me and I have no experience with it. Should I repot it or see how it does? Any suggestions?
 
Keeping all your plants in the same mix is much easier for regulating watering schedules. I would also recommend repotting it to your usual mix, unless you feel like experimenting. But, peronally I'd choose a cheapie plant to experiment on and not something treasured or remotely valuable.
 
Repotting should not hurt the plant and will likely cause it to grow some new roots. Sooner or later they all need to be repotted and the best time to repot is when you get the feeling it might be time.
