Default Cultural requirements for Cymbidium bicolor?

Can anyone who's familiar with this species please provide some cultural advice? The plant I just received is growing in a slat-wood Vanda basket and has lots of nice growths (nearly succulent in texture and very atypical compared to standard cymbidiums). From what I can tell there's no (or not much) potting mix in the basket; just lots of growths crammed inside with aerial roots winding their way over the wooden slats. It probably could use to be "re-basketed" but I don't want to hurt it. Can it simply be dropped inside a slightly larger basket with no potting mix, or will it respond better to a more typical cymbidium-growing arrangement (pot culture with a fine to medium-grade bark-based mix that retains moisture)? I would really love to hear from anyone who has firsthand knowledge of this species. Thank you!

Steve

The same media that all the other cymbidiums grow well in would be my choice. Mine likes to be high in the growing area - very bright light.
