Fantastic! Too bad you haven't figured out how to grow it. Ha!

Nice,
Have you considered an azalea pot? These are wide based clay pots.

Its gorgeous! With all the roots on the outside, maybe a basket that it can sort of nestle in to keep it from tipping would work.

Gorgeous. Have fun re-potting it. I hope you have better luck finding azalea pots than I am having.

as far as display, I use one of my fav ceramic containers with a whole bunch of corks on the bottom to keep it draining good....if you want to repot, use clay for stability, and so
metimes I put that pot inside a larger clay pot, to make it sit up right...gl
you really did a good job growing it out...spectacular bloom!

Congratulations, that is a !*%&ing beautiful plant, well done! First, cut off a large piece, preferably 3 or more pseudobulbs, and send them to me.

Then find a large, interesting vessel that you can sit everything down in which will support it without squishing it in any way. You might be lucky enough to find something with a nice tight fit, but you may want to go out and get something special for this plant.

It really is a beauty and should be displayed with pride in a prominent spot in the home.

Maybe bore some holes in the bottom of a wheelbarrow and pot it in that, to make it easier to move to the shows.
