It was a root that grew while in S&H, so I'm pretty sure it's the bugs that are doing it. Shall I treat the roots with anything while I repot?

Birthday present! What is it?
My sweet, wonderful husband came home today with a giant beauty of a dendrobium! I was thrilled, but it didn't come with a tag. Anyone have any idea what kind of dendrobium it could be?

Should I also use this amount of fertilizer on my dehydrated rescue orchids that haven't shown new growth yet, or should I hold off on the fertilizer until they're more established?

It looks like the bag might be partway sealed on the bottom? I would leave that open and loosely tent the bag around the plant, maybe even cut some holes in the bag to allow for more airflow.
