Did you already repot it, or did it come that way? The medium looks new and the plant looks as though somebody very recently repotted it.

If it came that way I would remove the plant from the pot, shake off the bark and look at the roots. I would then probably soak the roots in water for an hour to soften them, and gently try to wind them into the empty pot. Then fill with the bark. I hold the plant over the empty pot, gently direct the roots into the pot, then twist the plant as I lower it into the pot.

It's OK if the roots break a little while you do this; they still function.

The high humidity will encourage the plant to make roots. Don't spray the foliage, though. They can't take up water through leaves and it promotes fungus growth.
