Any advice for a first time orchid (and plant) owner?

I was gifted this beautiful orchid and the instructions state to submerge it in water for 5 minutes once a week then let it drain.

This was my first week doing so but I realized that the roots seem to be huge and overcrowded and I was wondering if that was normal or if I should transfer my orchid into a larger container?
Also, if not, would I need to transfer her (my orchid) to a larger container in the future? How would I know when its time?
