I need help repot my orchids?

I just bought two of butterfly orchids. I realized that the pot came is a bit small and the roots seem to be drunk and he came with a large amount of foam in it. Normally I replant a flower if needed a bigger pot, but that orchids are delicate I need to know if you even need to replant them .. two of them are in bloom and buds. my question is when and if replanting orchids. Thanks;)

Orchids are epiphytes call. This means they live on a (a tree) and rooted in the soil. They grow in the cracks between the branches where the water leaves and foam accumulates. That's all they need to survive. They are sold in pots with the chips rather than on the bark of this reason, and so are very rootbound. If I pot up good care of them and will be very unlikely to get flowers, soft and lush, green growth because they feel it is not necessary to reproduce because they are under no imminent death threat! Producers tend to drag banks with roots hanging orchids everywhere. The orchids, of course, drag on a branch, where roots is possible because they will. Pot them after they finish flowering in bark chips (not wood chips) or buy an orchid fertilizer. Drink Slightly larger than they are now and where possible rainwater. If you can find a little foam on top of the jar all the best, but live without him. It is simply to mimic natural conditions for growing as much as possible. For the same reason not place in direct sunlight.

Some orchids take a few steps. I hope it's useful:)
