Potting for specimen size Brassavola Nodosa 'little stars'

[HarmoniaGardens]

Some of the previous growths have been constrained underneath other growth. I took a hearty look at the basket today, and it was rotting away in my hands. The plant is shooting out 3 bloom spikes to start, so I didn't wanna repot it, but I ended up tearing up so much of the rotting basket to find the plant is still in it's original 3 inch plastic pot! Tomorrow I'm going to remove the old pots and the potting medium.

Maybe I can keep it in a large tub, filled with water (for extra humidity), but keep the plant out of water and just water it 1-2 times daily. From what I've seen of the roots the best looking ones are growing on the outside of the basket (which I will probably have to cut) I was able to save most of the roots of a vanda orchid in the same situation, but its roots seemed more stable.
