Thanks Diana:

This is the way the Dendrobum came from the ebay seller. I was rather
shocked when I opened the package and saw all the roots.

I did not realize its ok to trim the roots back, how much should I take off.
Should I trim back by 50%.

Wow, look at those roots!

One option is not to repot at all, unless the medium has broken down.
Dends like to be pot bound.

If you must repot, remember that Dends don't like to have their roots
disturbed, but I can't see any choice in this case.

I would trim the roots way back and pot this in your medium of choice.
Keep the pot as small as you can.

HTH
