Noob, help! ID little Dendrobiums

[Nimpa]

Hello! So I went to an orchid place for selfie thingy (I did not enjoy the "selfie part" :')) and there was this orchid bazaar and bought 2 little very cheap orchid. They were advertise as Dendrobium but I cant get any info what species they are. The seller said it was the same species that was in front of them (they had white, purple, and yellow/orange) I am also very inexperienced with orchids I'm only a wee lil teenager. I was impulsive but I'm determined to take care of them. I did some research. They said its a local species from Indonesia (I'm from Indonesia) one was labeled 2MA/2NT (I think)and one is labeled Y E N.

(The 2MA/2NT one. Its about 20 cm)




(the YEN one. Also about 20cm)

An ID is quite impossible - flowers would have help to narrow the choices a bit. (Any chance you could visit the place again and get some photos of the flowers?) Definitely a Dendrobium... but since you live in the area - and climate- where the plant comes from, I think you could just repot it (perhaps in small bark rather than the sphagnum that it is in now) . If you can use a terracotta pot rather than plastic, it will be helpful to have that extra weight on the bottom - these tend to be top-heavy. Water it well (water running out of the pot), let it dry for a few days, and repeat. You live in a warm climate, so it should quite happy outside if you can manage that. Bright, indirect light is best.

Well if an ID is impossible well at least I know they are ok here. The entry was cheap but going there on the trip wasnt so it will be a while till I get any photos of them so I will take care of them like the "standard" i guess. Thank you soo much for the tips! I will use it. My grandma is an Orchid enthusiast so she has the medium and stuff. Again thank you
