ID's needed!
5 Attachment(s)
My neighbor gave me two orchids with no id's--she does that from time-to-time. She buys them in bloom, doesn't know how to take care of them and when they don't look "pretty," gives them to me. One of them looks like a dendrobium, but its cane is a lot thinner than the Dens. I already have...The other one I'm absolutely clueless about.
She also gave me a Phal. keiki...I told her not to touch it until it had at least 3 strong roots, but of course she didn't listen to me. It has two leaves and 2 strong, 2-inch roots. What are its chances of survival? Below are the pics of the two orchids I need help IDing. |
The 1st is some type of Dendrobium. Without a flower might be tough to place it into the several divisions of Dendrobium. The last 2, not a clue, but could be in the Cattleya Alliance. . . just a guess?

@BikerDoc: Thanks for your input =) What's your take on the Phal. Keiki with two roots (sorry, no pics)?

Unfortunately, she removed the keiki from the mother =/ I potted the keiki in bark with sphag on top, around the roots. I haven't had much luck with sphag as the main medium, so I use it sparingly.

even if it's just a small amount of shag on top, around the roots? or should i just get rid of the sphag? sorry, for all the questions!
