Help With This Ugly Cattleya orchid

I would recommend what Jordan has suggested, just make sure you do not use any bark or moss in the medium as it will likely remain wet and decompose, u´just use LECA pellets, charcoal, styrofoam peanuts etc.

Add wine corks to that list of possible fillers

No bark because of the size of the plant? Maybe being as big doesn't allow it to dry completely? I would have thought of using a bark mix, and I'm curious about why you don't recommend using bark.
