I've had this orchid a year and a half or so. It bloomed last fall for over a month. I was so delighted! It was lovely. It is now starting to grow new roots out of the pot. So, question is: should I repot it now? It was repotted last 11/17 just before I got it. The pot seems to be filled with roots. Should I bump it up to the next size pot? Can I used my regular orchid mix?
Thanx, Barbara

I would agree with Geoff, hard to tell with no photo!
There seem to be more roots in the pot than show up on the photos. These photos are from both sides of the pot.

No. Keep it in the same pot until either the compost starts to break down ( go soft) and needs replacing, or until there is no room for the next new growth. Orchid roots like to hang out in the air -it is perfectly natural. But avoid disturbing them unless you really need to.
As some say - "grow the roots" - the rest will follow !
