| Received a small orchid for Christmas. It was in bloom, and has now dropped the last of the blooms. Tag says Den. Emma White, and from reading this forum I guess the Den. means dendrobium, do you think? It is in a 3" pot and living (so far!!) in lava rock. The stems (canes?) are ridged, but also have kind of a whiteish fiber coating them. It looks like it might peel off at some point. There are roots coming out of the bottom of the pot and on top of the soil. The plant has 3 canes? (1 about 14"tall and the other 2 about 6") Do you think it needs repotting or do they like to be root bound? After reading this forum, I think I may be watering it to much. I also fertilized it a couple of times with Miracle Grow. What do you think I should do? Any help is appreciated. I am new to this forum
