What should you do if wild orchid roots are too long to fit in the pot

Wild orchid has too many roots to fit in the pot? Then cut off all the roots that are too long or too short, dry or hollow roots, black rotted roots, and broken or decayed roots.

After trimming the orchid's roots, to prevent wound infection, the wounds need to be disinfected.

Spray the whole plant with a sterilizing disinfectant solution, then soak the orchid roots in the disinfectant solution to sterilize them. When done, place it in a cool, shady spot to dry. Wait until the orchid roots have dried and the water has drained off, and once the orchid roots become soft and pale, it can be potted up.
