    Default phalenopsis gigantea

    hi,
    i got a phal gigantea seedling i purchased several months back, now it has already overgrow the 4 inch clay pot it is in. the problem is, ITS FRIGGIN HARD TO GET THOSE ROOTS UP FROM THE ATTACHMENT TO THE CLAYPOTS. i am open to all suggestion, breaking the roots would be the lowest in the option.
    i got a mad ideas on drilling one big tunnel tru a fern slate and anchor the entire pot to it after sitting the pot tru the tunnel. goes something like in the pic. (not the best pic but i had to produced it in less than 5mins before i rush to wok..hehe)
    Perhaps maybe next time no claypots for bb phals that to be mounted later on?
    thanks for any input
