Woah nice, and nice to see they are in containers that don't bind them in. The best thing I have found to date is to keep the roots sprayed during growing season but don't over water, Growing season is when they have little green tips on their white roots. Don't touch them too much. And-- root hormone added to any fertilization. I have destroyed many orchids, but when I started using rooting hormones, they started growing like crazy. And do not be afraid of more sun. Not "full" sun, but more sun.
About repotting. YOu do hear a lot of that here. But if they were in their trees at home (where they live) they would never really move much. Their dead roots would make the little nest that they would catch bird poo and other falling litter (leaves, dirt). One reason the plants I have growing are doing so well is I now wait about 3-4 years to repot. I repotted recently-- last fall-- but I hadn't touched them since 2016. There you go.
