What can I do with these? They are growing like mad.
This is a garciana.

This is a plant with lots of wild roots. Just leave them alone. They will probably go into the medium eventually. If they don't they will be happy in the air.

I would repot at the next growth after that new growth is mature. Those roots are a little too long for repotting without damage. This plant won't mind having a growth or two hanging in the air outside the pot.

Will the.multiple new baby roots require daily watering? The best I can do is spray watering.

Nope. Just keep on doing what you have been doing. The roots will go into the medium if they need to. Or they'll get watered whenever you do your normal watering and be fine with that. There are plenty in the medium to take care of the plant, the new ones will do what they do. Orchids have been doing their epiphytic thing for a long time without human micromanaging

Since this thread started by me I hope it is OK to ask an unrelated question that is STRESSING ME OUT.
I found out just today that someone stole the catalytic converter from my Prius. Apparently the replacement part is expensive 😨😨😨😨. Could you help pointing me to an affordable place or strategy to get it replaced and repaired? We will turn in the thieves' photos to the police but doubt that will help us with the damage.

Unfortunately you have become a statistic... catalytic converter theft has become epidemic. And Priuses are prime targets because being low-emissions, the units tend to be clean and therefore worth more on the black market. Hopefully your insurance will cover most of it (under Comprehensive Coverage) Good luck!

Sorry you had that happen. I would look online for San Diego Prius discussion groups.
