Gravel Medium?

[Cyrus_rex]

Hi there,

I recently bought a Phalaenopsis for my partner as a gift. That also means I have to take care of it though, lol, but I don't mind.

I have read through the forums and frequently see that one of the best mediums is bark. My (our) plant comes from a hardware store so no doubt they just want it sold, and don't really care about proper care.

My question is whether the fine-ish gravel it is planted in is fine or whether I should repot it asap. It is currently in bloom and since I am a beginner and it looks so good, I don't want to do something stupid and kill the plant.

Should I wait for the blooms to drop and then repot or shout I just do it anyway and hope for the best? No doubt they used the gravel to keep the base heavy.

Also one of the leaves were yellow when I bought it, but it doesn't seem to be getting worse.

Oh and lastly, it had no id, but it has a plain pink flower, no stripes or dots.

Thanks!!!
