thoughts on this Arachnis and what to do

[DirtyCoconuts]

in a recent wind event my big Arachnis maggie oei took a tumble and the two 1x2s i had anchored in the pot both broke.

it is about 5-6' of orchid coming out of the pot and now has zero stability. so, should 1) i just start cutting, 2) try to tie it up in a bundle and repot or mount it as one, or 3) other idea here?


here is the mess

she is a spectacular plant and i believe her size contributes to her vigor (always at least 5 active spikes, often up to 20) and so i fear that if i divide it up it will take a long time to get back to that.

the plant was in this configuration for 5-7 years. i know i made the setup after my oldest was born but not entirely sure when.

she is one of the best examples of the hybrid i have seen and so i also wouldnt mind sharing it too
