Cute!
It's a plant from the Vanda Alliance.
Too much moss, try to remove most of it, and place the roots on top of the moss.
If your growing area is humid enough, you don't need the moss at all.

Well, Phillip, how did I do? I found a few rotted roots, but I also found some nice new roots starting. I only used about half of the fish line to reattach. What do you think?

I'd use a little less moss.
Pay close attention to how well the plant is doing.
Notice the yellowing bottom leaves. I suspect that was from the moss.
If it continues, remove the moss altogether and let it dry out for 3 days (it's gonna be tempting to water it, but don't).

How cute! I wouldn't have thought it was from the Vanda family, it looks more like my (ex) mini Sedirea japonica. Hope you'll get some blooms soon!
