Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

I ended up having to travel a little further into town for something I needed this morning and I got suckered by this adorable mini phal. I was just telling my fiance yesterday how I thought the mini ones were so adorable and how I hadn't been able to find any.

And then I made the mistake of going through the florist department of the grocery store on my way to produce. =X This little guy was the last one. I wasn't supposed to be at the store today. Obviously this was fate. xD

His roots look really healthy and he's growing a new leaf. That said, his medium is pretty grungy, green mold and the like. I've got to cut his cup away to get at him because he's so packed down in there. I plan to soak his roots in an anti-fungal for a bit and then a light fertilizer.

My question is - he's in bloom, first of all, so is this a bad idea? And secondly, what do I put him in? He came in a decorative pot that is slightly larger than he is, and all I've got here in my house is bark/perlite/charcoal from my normal-sized 'chids. Should I just lightly put some bark in his decorative pot? Should I give him a slightly bigger pot? Should I chop up some of my bigger bark in the food processor? (Weird, I know, but I'd do it. Not ground it fine, just kind of make it smaller). I don't really own anything this small that I could think of to put him in. I suppose if I got really adventurous I could go to the store and grab some clear plastic cups that are disposable..>__> Cut holes in them and call it good.

What do you think??
