Default Colmanara Wildcat advice, please

Hi,
I ran across a Colmanara Wildcat 'Rainbow' at Lowes yesterday (a bag-baby), but I was hesitant about buying it because I knew nothing about it's culture. I then went home and looked up info about it on the internet, and found this: Popular orchids - Colmanara Wildcat
After reading the article, I went back to Lowes and bought it. As many 'bag-babys' are, the roots were far from very good, so I did what I could (trimmed, cinnamon, etc.)....but am not sure exactly which way would be best for me to plant/prepare it. Although I was not a success at Spag n Bag once (and my only try), I have had rooting luck by placing the rootless plant in a med-large-body vase (with a smaller opening at the top)...with damp spag in the bottom of the vase). I have enclosed photos, so after seeing them, do you think I should try to root the plant more (hoping for new, fresh roots before placing it in S/H) or do you think it is ready for S/H now?
Thanks in advance,
Vicki
