Howdy again

Regarding the pot size

according to the number of pbulbs, and the fact that the rightmost lead is only about an inch or so away, I think you have done just fine. Mine all look like that, and I have no trouble with them. I water twice a week, or so.

I take care of over 300 pots of catts, and, true, underpotting is much prefered to overpotting. But, this catt seems centered fine, not too close to the side, and is not up high with too much medium underneath--as well as it seems to be in a clay pot.

Now, if this plant were in an 8, 10, or 12 inch pot, I would agree. But as it appears right now, and the size of the plant placed there, I respectfully disagree that this plant as shown is overpotted.

If you were to bump the plant down, where would the leads (plural) go? There are two, one at the front, and possibly one off to the side near the rear.

So, I still think that this plant is okay as it appears.

Take care
May all your orchids bloom like crazy
