Help me with this plant

[Jacob Reitsma]

Hello everyone!

I am new to orchids and also new to this board, I thought I would jump in right here.

I think I need some help identifying my orchid.
For family business I was in Meghalaya - Ri Bhoi District (India) a few months ago. I told my mother in law(who lives there) that I find her Epiphyllum oxypetalum's from her garden extremely beautiful! When we went back home she gave me six cutting of her Epi's and also a sweet little surprise plant with roots
I packed them nicely and everything survived two days traveling( tree flight and also two times my suitcase was opened by customs .... Not even a question was asked?
At home I discovered the rooted plant was an orchid and I potted it nice without hardly knowing anything about orchids. During my investigation about how to get flowers from it I learned more and more about orchids and now I seem to get hooked on them

As you can see on the last picture I planted my orchid in a way to large pot when I got home and I put it at my brightest window, it get full sun from 12:00-16:00. The plant has been growing very nice and it developed a complete new and health root system. Since one week now I repotted it to a much smaller pot to make it root bound( after reading and learning)

I have not seen any flowers yet what makes it hard for me to identify my plant.. I wish to know how to give my baby the right treatment.

I found it is almost similar to dendrobium infundibulum and dendrobium longicornu( mine does not have any small dark hair)

Maybe someone can help me?

Sorry for my English I am trying my best!

The plant has one fresh shoot which is growing nice so far, it has one older shoot who is not growing and slowly drying it seems and it has also two completely dried shoots without leafs.

Well, my first thought was an Epidendrum, but perhaps it's a Dendrobium ... I hope some other members can be of better assistance!

Dendrobium maybe lawesii

[estación seca]

I agree Dendrobium. It also looks a lot like D. cruentum. When it flowers you will find out.

[Jacob Reitsma]

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to see the flowers but so far no sign of it. I'll post some pictures when it does!

[Gil Jean-Yves]

I think it is Den. crumenatum, which flowers are white and of poor duration.

[Orchid Whisperer]

Dendrobium is most likely correct. You need to wait for it to bloom before deciding what kind it is. If it is a hybrid an exact ID may not be possible.

You seem to be growing it very well!

[Jacob Reitsma]

I think it's an easy growing orchid and I hope it's not a hybrid but who knows. I got it from someone who lives in the middle of the jungle in Meghalaya/India, lots of species are growing there in the wild.

To help it flowering I putted the plant in my growbox where i will drop the night temperature to 10°C during the night for two months. I hope that will do the trick.

If I'm reading this correctly,a plant taken from the wild is a big no-no and wrong in every possible way. Please don't continue this or encourage its practice.TY.

[Jacob Reitsma]

Yes I agree but this plant was taken out of a garden and not from the wild. That would be very wrong.
