Got a bit of a mess on my hands.

[Johndeaux22]

I recently just received a Bc. Rustic Spots, it is potted in a net basket with sphagnum moss inside of a 2” pot. Roots are quite prolific outside the basket, and most are poking through the holes. The current medium is not in great shape, so I need to repot as soon as it’s done flowering. Any ideas for extracting it from the net pot, and keeping something intact? I like to pot in 25/75 leca/Orchiata bark, so some initial root loss is expected in the change over, but I’d like to not set it back too far if possible. I’m thinking I’d like to, as gently as possible, cut the net pot away and repot as normal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As an aside, the entire shipment I received today was less than impressive. Everything potted in rotten sphagnum moss, one plant had a slug. I can’t post a negative review about the seller, as I don’t have enough posts, however I can say that they’re a prominent SoCal nursery with a large Phal. selection and a GREAT domain name….that was recently negatively reviewed on here by another member. I wish I had seen the review before placing an order.
