Do you have a picture?

It sounds like sphagnum moss, you could repot it in that if that's what they
have done in the past.

If it is really overgrowing the pot you might repot into a 5 or 6" pot
otherwise just use the same one.

You didn't mention what type of orchid it is.

Remember that when you repot that you need to remove the old moss away from
the roots and then use fresh stuff.

Both Tasmanian and New Zealand Sphagnum moss is the best, don't use anything
less!!!!!

Good luck with it.

It looks like it was planted with a brown moss like substance that has
since
gotten green on top. What do I repot it with? It seems to be a 4inch pot.
