I agree that it looks fine and should pull away once it's settled down again. I can confirm these are tough plants. I bought two, post-flowering examples at a recent orchid show. One had the usual,...

I bought my first flask, Dendrobium Hilda Poxon (speciosum x tetragonum), in late January and deflasked them almost straight away. There were five good plants and two very small ones that died fairly...

Viable roots will be hard to the touch and, with luck, have a green or, perhaps, red tapering growing tip. Dead areas of root will be soft, though it may be viable/hard nearer the plant. In that case...

Orchids with pseudobulbs and canes will use their stored water and nutrients to keep the plant going when times get rough. If the root system is good your bulbs should start to reinflate but they may...

Roger Frampton, Roger’s Orchids on YouTube, believes it’s fungal. Orchids he’s treated successfully with a systematic fungicide for fusarium show no spotting on subsequent leaves.

I repotted mine today and it has fantastic roots, even though the compost had a slight smell of mushrooms. There were dead roots, of course, but mostly in the centre - the oldest part of the plant. I...

To be honest, I don't know whether putting them outside would be good or bad. The difficulty is getting the light levels right so that the plants don't burn. That can happen very quickly. I had some...

Berry Oda is a hybrid but with a lot of Den. kingianum in it. That's a lithophyte, growing on stones rather than on trees, so it will have a more terrestrial-like habit but, from reading on the web,...

Oncostele wildcat?

I wish the other one had been as good. With six new growths I thought it was the stronger plant but I checked it today and found it was the complete opposite. Most of its roots were dead. I’ve...

I was planning to re-pot all three of mine as soon as I see signs of new roots from one or more of the new growths. Thanks for the advice, though.

I’d agree that it’s a kingianum type Dendrobium. It looks a lot like my Berry Oda which is in that group. I think there are two keikis forming in Photo 2.
