One other suggestion:
I would trim off the very bottom of the stem, below where the roots are emerging. This will make it a lot easier to get those roots into the pot.

Mystery Greenhouse Orchid

Please help me ID this, so I can get it properly labeled.
This is the first it's bloomed in several years. Any advice on how to improve its care?
Thank you!

I think you have a basal growth, and either a new leaf or a second basal growth, and some roots starting.
I'd keep it where it is, don't pot it up until the roots are longer.
Don't be surprised...

That might be a basal growth starting, and a new leaf too.
Continue what you're doing, try not to disturb the new growth, and give it lots of time.

The mother plant is blooming. The keiki is blooming. The keiki has roots.

Any pot recommendations? I'm thinking smaller and shallower, especially if that's more or less normal root length. Are they OK to be a bit crowded?
