repotting orchid houseplant

[WowOoo]

Have an orchid that I'm hoping will re-flower one day.
What do I re-pot it in?
Do I need to buy specific orchid soil or can I chuck some wood chips and mix with soil? It's roots look like their growing out of pot now up in the air, but otherwise it's healthy looking.
Or should I just bin it and give up?!!

The roots be growing out of the pot are ok so that is not a reason to repot it. Most of the fancy orchids grow in damp conditions, up trees, etc and ariel feed so have some roots that can be exposed.

You'll need a specialist orchid compost that you can get from specialist growers here, orchid shows or larger garden centres. They need a very light, dry soil mix and won't do well in a home mix or standard compost. Also don't overwater it, let it dry out between watering and then only water it sparingly

For offensive root exposure of course!

Thanks for that ajm.
Will def get some special stuff for it.
