Need help figuring out how to accommodate Dendrobium Samarai roots
I am in love with my new Den. Samarai, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to keep it happy. The roots are growing entirely down the side of the pot and under it, so the plant can't stand on a flat surface. Right now I have it sort of shoved into a decorative pot, but I'm afraid that the roots are getting squished.
Does anyone have suggestions of how to repot? I thought of dropping the existing plastic pot into a larger pot with medium between them, but I'm not sure about leaving the plant in its current medium (which appears to be styrofoam peanuts on the bottom and somewhat elderly medium bark on the top). I was also considering cutting off the existing pot and putting the plant in a basket and trying to sort of let the roots hang down through the slats, but I'm not sure how well that would work, especially since the plant is quite tall and top-heavy.
Thoughts on those ideas or other solutions greatly appreciated!
