Dendrobium with no flowers!

[Orquiadicto]

To me it doesn't look like a Dendrobium Phalaenopsis either. I think a Dendrophal has shorter and thicker canes (at least those I have). I think it looks more like a Dendrobium kingianum type.

Many den phal hybrids have long slender canes, but tend to develop thicker lower waist depending on the hybrids.

The leaves and overall shape of the plant is just not of den phal.

I would also say kingianum type or there are a few other dendrobiums that may look similar to this.

You will just have to wait until it blooms.

By the way, your plant looks fine to me. It is normal for certain dendrobiums to have just a few top leaves left.

I second what NY said. Looks to me like a kingianum, and I have a few of those. Originally from Australia, they are subtropicals. I live in southern California, similar climate with S. Africa. My Kingianums stay out doors all year. They can withstand quite a bit of cold, even light frost, though we don't get those much either. Without the cool and dryer rest, a kingianum will not flower. If you have been growing it warm high light but only keikis but no bloom, I highly suspect it is not a phalaenopsis type hybrid, and quite honestly it doesn't look like a phalaenopsis hybrid to me either.
Good luck

Tarryn's plant looks far too large and way too leggy to be a Den kingianum.

A Berry Oda?

Ok...

I'm gonna stick my neck out there and take a wild guess at what I think this orchid really is. I could be wrong, but whatever, like I said, I'm guessing because there are no photos of flowers to accompany the plant photo -

I think it's quite possibly a hybrid. That much I'm about 70% to 80% certain of.

I think it's a Dendrobium phalaenopsis type of hybrid, the ones that are regularly sold in DIY hardware/lumber stores or supermarkets, if you want me to be more specific.

Whether the hybrid has a name or not, I really have no clue. If it did have a specific name, I don't know what it would be.

Oh gosh! I've been looking up all the orchid types everyone has been mentioning and they all look the same to me! Hopefully it will give us some flowers soon and then we will know the answer!

Thanks for everyone's help and advise!
