This plant was potted in sphagnum moss in a clay pot. There were a bunch of foam peanuts in the bottom taking about a quarter of the space. It was growing in the "wet zone" in the Sonoma greenhouse in moderately bright light.
I was not concerned about the roots but you never know until the plant is out of the pot. In this case the roots were better than I expected. There were roots growing from all the pseudobulbs and the pot was full of them but not too tightly intertwined. I was able to get the roots open and cleaned without doing any real damage to the roots.
The result is three of blooming size (2-3 pseudobulbs and a new growth) and 4 backbulbs.
