Oh, my, that is big! lol

I see that the roots are all plump and nice. Do you have phals? It's basically the same.

Green when wet, silvery white when dry.
As has been mentioned, just don't let it stay done dry too long, especially when the plant is in active growth as it needs lots of water as anything that grows.

You could mist the exposed roots in between waterings. At least that's what I do with my phals and anything that have roots dancing around up in the air.

yea it is pretty big compared to the photos i see online. I want to repot it though in a fresh fir bark. i mist the roots from time to time too.

I don't think it needs repotting. The mix looks new to me and it is already in bark mix.

Well, just saying. it's your plant.
