Phalaenopsis hygrochila (Hygrochilus parishii)
Longest root is a bit over 3 1/2 feet long (1.1 m) Lots of nice green root tips. Nothing at all in the basket, it just serves to hang the plant and hold it up. (There was some sphagnum, but that part of the base of the plant dried up and broke off, all the roots are running free) This grows on my patio - watered every day, functionally it's a cool-growing Vanda whatever the taxonomists want to call it. Spike developing nicely, flowers in another month or so.
Plant has a modest horizontal footprint, but needs a tall space to contain it - add the plant and spike to the root length, and it needs at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of vertical space.

that's looking like a Florida vanda, Robeta!!! nice
the 'naked vanda on a hook' is the only way to grow them here and the vertical foot print is significant!!

this is the "Perfection" cross that Orchid Inn had a few of last year.
the heat has been blessing it to Texas this summer.

Was leaning over in the pot so I had to scoot it over some. Repacked all around the fat roots in peanuts and then some large bark over the top. Some scraps shoved down the sides keep it from rocking. Put a wire crossbar over the top and down the sides to lock it in place. It's a no wiggler now
