Dendrobium Genting Royale loaded with keikis
I purchased the Den Genting Royale at New England Botanical Garden Orchid Show March 2024. I repotted it and within a few months the canes dropped leaves and I thought it was a goner. New roots started at the base of the canes and as you can see in the pics new canes are emerging. Only one of the keikis started higher about 2.5 inches above the media. I am planning on leaving most of the keikis attached. Maybe breaking one off and planting into its own pot. I am inclined to keep the orchid in this pot at least until it flowers before repotting. Does this sound like a good practice? It is in small bark and charcoal in a plastic orchid pot (lots of holes) nestled into some sphagnum moss at the bottom of a ceramic orchid pot with lots of holes.
