Hi Florence,

It's a Phalaenopsis orchid and the pot size looks about right to me.

There's an excellent (but lengthy) thread discussing these types of orchids that you might want to look at: The thread "🗣 Starting out with Phals/Supermarket Orchids 🛎 ✍️" in Orchids forum

In short, Phals don't like to be over-potted (a pot just big enough for their root system) and they will send out aerial roots too (don't cut these off), so their root systems can look a bit untidy.
