Stanhopea oculata - overpotting? Female

I think that's fine. The spikes are really "smart" about figuring how to get out. And Stanhopeas grow fast, and also are difficult to repot without a lot of surgery. In that basket, there will be great drainage, you don't have to worry about it staying too wet. So let it do its thing.
