In fact, no freshly repotted orchid is truly 'locked in' until the roots themselves grow into the media and adheres itself to the media and pot. All you are trying to do in the interim, is artificially secure the plant / roots into the pot until it adheres itself. This can be done by packing the media in tight, or using rhizome clips, common in Cattleyas.
