Talked to a friend today who had this noid phal. I gave care instructions. Thought you would like to see what I found.

Just repotted this zygo in January and it’s crawling out of the pot. It’s kind of a freak!

Now there's a zygo with game! I'm mostly amazed by how pristine those leaves are. Kudos to you in several arenas. :bowing

These roots just don't like being in the pot and the plant has a vertical growing habit. More of less just growing in full sun and air. What is wrong with this thing! haha.

Beautiful roots! That plant (ID?) is telling you that it doesn't like pots... suggest hanging it up (or put on a plant stand to get it off the ground, anchor well so it doesn't get knocked over or blow over...) and let it go wild.

Thanks. It's an Epicatarthron Hilo Adventure (Cattleya Motte Spot × Epiarthron Kevin Mark Ragbir). It's one of those plants that keeps getting bigger, no matter how many times you divide it up...

Oh wow, that one is gorgeous! If it were mine, I'd just drop the whole thing into a larger terracotta pot (perhaps with an inverted pot at the bottom to create an air space and give the roots some more vertical growing space), no medium in the space between pots unless maybe some rocks for weight and to hold things in place. And just let it do its thing.
