    Default potting advice, please

    Hello,
    Could you tell me what I should do with this orchid, if anything, please? The tag reads: TRCTM (Maureen x Haematochilum) Red Mule Ear Type. I bought it a few months ago and it has grown very well since. It is a healthy plant with many new roots. I have been thinking lately about mounting it, but I don't want to do anything to hinder it's good health. Should I:
    1.) Leave it as it is?
    2.) Repot it in a larger pot now...preferable plastic?
    3.) Repot it in a larger pot during active growing, which I gather is Spring/Summer?
    4.) Mount it...now or when?
    5.) Another option?
    I would appreciate your advice,
    Vicki
