That said, Catasetinae are probably the least finicky of any orchids I’ve grown when it comes to media preference. That may play a role also.
For other genera, a pot that is too big stays too wet in the center, too much water and not enough air suffocates roots. With Catasetinae in their growth phase, I don't think that "too wet" is even possible. They slurp up everything they can get.
