They are happiest in bark, since in the rain forest they attach to the bark of trees up in the canopy. See how far down in the container the roots will hang and fill it to that level with the bark, then carefully fill the rest of the container with the bark trying not to break roots by packing it to tight or too much in one area at once. Do not put the bark higher than it was in the old pot. Once you are done, soak the whole thing in tepid water for about fifteen minutes so the bark absorbs water. You will get expansion in the wood chips, just remove the ones that go too high. Soak the wood every week or week and a half, do not let water sit in the pot, it needs to drain well after soaking or the roots will rot. The wood provides all the water and humidity it should need. Good luck!
