Default Bulbophyllum phalaenopis question

Hey all,

Recently picked up a very nice Bulb phal and have been trying to do research on it but not a lot out there on the ole web. Wondering whether I should be looking to re-pot this one or ride it out for a bit. It came in a small, shallow 3" pot in hard packed sphagnum. Was damp when it showed up, watered it shortly after and the water took a good 5 min to soak into the medium!
I don't believe mounting is going to work for my climate. I'm planning to have a nice humid/warm enclosure for next winter but generally here it's very dry in the winter and keeping up with watering seems like a losing battle. I understand bulbos aren't too keen on getting re-potted, so I don't want to mess it up with my first one!
It has a nice new growth starting if that makes any difference, I still haven't found a good resource on how to time it. Most say because it's such a large family of orchids, "It depends".
Looking at doing some kind of shallow basket that I can hang and let the new growth stretch it's legs. The current bulbs have leaves that are about 8" and 12".
I'm kind of hoping it's just a case of plopping the old into a bigger pot with moss without messing with the roots. Or just let it go for another year!
Some pics below. Thanks!
