Transplanting

Received orchids in pots with a lot of moss. They were in lite plastic pots. I transplanted then in clay took out out the moss and put in orchid bark. Is that right or should I put back the moss in the root system? The pots have holes on the sides.

I did the very same thing you did. I believed the moss was keeping it too wet. I left the moss out and my orchid is doing fine.
