Thanks for all your advice! I'm going to home depot later today to get a basket and some wire! I will let you know how it all turns out.

And yeah, it doesn't get very cold here. I've been checking the temps every night because I'm chilling my phals and it hasnt been below 50 on my patio yet this winter. At 55 I sometimes throw old sheets and blankets over the benches to keep some of the plant's own heat in. Catts can take lower temps then phals and my phals are doing great (and all except three are sending out inflorescences!)

Anywhoo thanks again for all of your input. I will see if I can find some cloth at home depot to line it so that was a great tip, and I will pull off the pot and take a look at the medium before I decide what to do. I think all of you have good points, if its good medium it should stay but on the other hand it would be good to see the state of the roots and clean them up perhaps. We'll see!

Thanks FLBob for the pictures!! What a healthy looking plant! The visuals are a big help. I'm going to go soak it right now because I didn't think about that. My phals are pretty much always damp so they are pretty pliable when I repot but the Catt is pretty dry. Thanks again for the info!
