Default Laelia lobata alba

I recently got my hands on this seedling. It has 5 growths with either one
or two leaves. And at the present time, two of the growths are yellowing.
It's in a two and half inch pot and is in bark media. As I understand this
particular species does well in baskets, and does not like root disturbance.
The only information that I was able to dig up on this orchid is that it's
from Brazil and produces two to five flowers from March to July. Currently
it is about 5" in height.
I would like to move it into a wooden basket but I'm not sure what to use as
potting media. Can I get some information on how to handle this situation,
and how to pot this orchid into a basket. I have several size baskets, all
wooden, some square some round, some shallow others are deep.
Information greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance,
