I'd put it back into the pot and leave it alone. It's really too early to expect much rooting, surprised at that much growth. But this is definitely the time of year for no water, ignore the plant Since you already have it out of the pot, one suggestion would be to use sphagnum, or much smaller bark Once active growth begins, they like "sopping wet". I don't think that bark that large will give the plant adequate hydration once it DOES get into its growth time. And I don't cut roots on Catasetinae either. They often will be useful for a second year even though the new ones are better. When the plant is done with the roots they'll die back and dry up naturally.
