Hi Snowball, welcome to the forum.
Here are a couple of pics of my Catt in a wooden basket. I stuck it in there since Nov. last year. It's now got 4 new growths and when it's mature, I'm expecting to see some nice blooms.
I use medium bark and charcoal and some broken pieces of clay pot ( broken clay pot need to be sterilized ..baking or boiling ) the bark mix you can soak it over night if you wish. But a plant in basket, even it's in media, requires more watering than the potted ones. I live in S Florida and I water mine everyday or it will start to shrink.
