I picked up this plant from an orchid sale from a local orchid club. That was the name on the tag. Do you think it may be different?

I dug around the plant yesterday and noticed the roots are not all that good looking-which may be why the pseudobulbs are all shriveled. I cut back some of the dead roots, and trimmed up some dry ends to what looks like some good tissue. Sprinkled some cinnamon on the wounds and have it just sitting out in the open. I have some newly soaked bark I was going to place it in-is this a good idea considering the root damage? Should I wait on the new media and instead let the roots dry out a bit before repotting? I read about sphagnbag-would that help in this case? Thanks so much!
