The relatively 'short' leaves of your plant suggest that your plant might be a renanthera which when well-established can produce 100s of red to red-orange flowers on long inflorescences. (Renanthera hybrids are choice for cut flower trade - brightly colored, long-lasting flowers.) Your plant has lost its lower leaves, and with the exception of the keiki, what's in the basket appears to be a mass of dead roots. There are several free-flowing roots towards the top of the plant. I'd cut the main fan just below the lowest of these roots and mount or basket. Carefully separate the keiki, clean off dead root material and mount or basket it.
Whatever this turns out to be, vandas are like mermaids - they like the sun in their face (good light), the wind in their hair (air movement all the time) and gentle water lapping their feet (frequent
misting, high humidity).
