Name was misspelled, it's galeatea. Very three dimensional as high as it is wide.

Grows in all directions with as many leaves coming out of the bottom of the basket as the top.

The three dimensional growth pattern is definitely a characteristic of the plant. Pleuro cyanea posted at the same time, has as many leaves and also is in a net pot but has not sent a single leaf out the side or down the bottom. This plant is a champion when it comes to lateral and bottom growth.

It's in an eight inch square basket and I'd love to move it up into a larger container but getting it out will be very difficult. By sniping and removing the basket 1" at a time the basket can be cut free. After that, how do you pot a plant that has as many leaves coming out the bottom and all sides as from the top? I'm leaving it alone and it will provide interesting information.

I think we all know what a Cattleya will do if left to ramble over the edge of a pot. The rhizome wanders all over the place and makes a plant ball. A Pleuro does not have a rhizome in the conventional sense and I have never seen one completely outgrow it's container. It will be interesting to see what this thing will look like 5 years from now.
