| if it were me, i wouldn't mess with it. let it go on the bark for at least another 12 months and see how it does. it takes 'chids a while to acclimate to new conditions, etc; if you keep switching around it won't have a chance to get settled. if it's growing roots, that's a good thing; let it keep doing that for a while, especially as it was traumatized before.
thx for this post--i'll be giving a newbie grower's talk at a show in a few weeks ("I just bought my first orchid. Now what?") and was already planning on mentioning removing any *overwrap* on a pot; now i'll be sure and mention checking for inner wraps as well.
