Default Lepanthopsis Astrophora Stalky growth???

I’ve had this little Lepanthopsis for, I’m guessing, three years. It had been growing in a tiny 1” pot and doing very well. I kept the pot in a large glass orb, setting on damp moss. This orchid is almost constantly in bloom and I just love it, so tiny.

Last summer I repotted it into a much larger pot, in spaghnum moss with bits of fern bark added. The plant had roots absolutely stuffed in its tiny pot and overflowing into the moss in the bottom of the orb. With the amount of roots it had I didn’t feel the larger pot was too large.

I now grow it in my grow tent/shelves. My question is in regards to the massive amount of roots throughout the entire plant. It practically looks like keikis everywhere! It has continued to grow and flower, seems happy in its new environment but I’m unsure of the look of the plant. Is this normal? It didn’t look like this when it was much smaller. I know many of us grow this plant, do you see roots everywhere on your plant? Sorry if this is a stupid question but it’s bugging the crap out of me! Here are a couple of pictures:
