Wooden baskets engulfed by large cattleyas - is Repotting even possible?

[Roberta]

Generally, my Catts do best once they escape from their pots, or even baskets. I figure if they bloom better with wild roots, that's what I'll let them have. And not try to make them behave according to someone's aesthetic standards.(Tall people walking in my yard just have to watch where they are going...) In nature, they don't have media at all... just maybe some old detritus, but rain washes away any bad stuff.
