It had one small (and I mean small, maybe 5 cm diameter, 8 cm tall) plastic pot inside of a larger (probably decorative) ceramic pot WITH NO HOLES IN IT. The small plastic pot was jammed full of sphagnum moss and roots, the larger ceramic pot had ordinary potting soil that was there probably to bring the small plastic pot to the right height to sit in the bigger ceramic pot.

Anyway, I somehow managed to not drown it over the last five months despite this rather distressing arrangement and now it is in a hopefully better situation with MUCH better drainage. I was honestly kind of shocked to see mostly nice fat healthy root things and not stringy weird bits of rotted and unhappy roots like the "bad example of orchid roots" in the video. (They had "good" and "bad" examples, I guess to show people what to look for.)
