That's very common. Nothing to worry about. If the air is very dry they may stop growing. The new roots normally form on the bottom of the new growth just like in the photos. Nothing I see is to worry about. Nice plant by the way. Keep it pretty bright (south window if possible). Leaves should be light green to yellow green. If leaves turn all yellow, that's too much light. Hope this helps.

Thank you Ross. I will keep everything you said in mind. Since it naturally has it's roots growing out of the pot, when do I know when to repot it?

When the pseudobulbs are hanging over the side of the pot it's time to repot. (Or the medium starts looking decomposed whichever comes first)

Thank you all very much for your time and your advice. I really appreciate it. I'm going to repot it this weekend and attempt to tuck any roots that I can back in the medium. I will also attempt to get the new growth back into the pot more but I know this is going to prove to be very difficult because like shakkai said, it is growing slightly higher then the other two. You think the pot size is okay? It is currently in a 5'' pot and I have a clear 5'' pot that I would like to put it into. Also the pseudobulb that is currently hanging out of the pot is like growing in a sidewase direction. When I repot should I put a stick in the medium for it to lean on to get it to grown straight up? This is all I can think about right now but I can almost guarantee I will have more questions. Thank you all again for your time and your patience.
