I just got a few new orchids in, I had a gift certificate to blow, and one of my new purchases is a Gongora chocoensis (with what looks to be a little bloom spike coming out of the side of the plant).

Do these guys like to be cramped and rootbound? It came in a 2.25" pot, and the entire pot seems to be nothing but roots. While looking for care tips and looking at pictures, I noticed most seem to be in small hanging baskets, with the basket looking ridiculously small, but the plants looked very happy.

I understand they like humidity around their feet, but not soggy, hence the baskets lined with moss around a small amount of potting medium, and covered again with moss. So I was thinking of recreating this with a 4" basket. Does that sound sufficient?

It was listed as fragrant, any of you guys have one of these, I'm curious to know what they smell like. I would guess chocolate hence the species name, but that could be misleading. lol

Thanks!
