| That is a Vanda, now called a Papilionanthe, and it may be teres, or a closely related species, or very likely Vanda Miss Joaquim, now the national flower of Singapore I think. Have to wait for it to bloom for a final ID.
Pot it in medium bark up to the base of that lowest short leaf. Get the roots really wet and see if you can bend them a little. If need be, you can just bend them slightly up so that the plant can be put to the shallow dept required for that lowest leaf, with the roots sticking up out of the pot. Also, maybe you can get the highest roots to form an arc enough to get their tips into the pot. I often like to do a little bending with my Vanda's roots to get the high roots curved downward and into the pot. Since most of the roots will be out of the pot, you are going to have to heavily mist the roots of this guy every day for some time until enough roots grow to get a good drink from that pot and relieve you of the daily misting.
