    Question Epidendrum radicans

    Hi! I have this orchid since about 6 months and I've been told it's an Epidendrum radicans with orange flowers. I don't know much about orchids yet, but looking around on the Internet, it looks like it's not an E. radicans since I can't see any root growing on the stem (which is supposed to be a behaviour of E. radicans). Instead, all the roots are from the base of the stem as you can see in the picture. I know it might be hard to tell until it blooms, but which type of Epidendrum could it be? E. ibaguense? The new growth started to appear like 4 months ago and the roots are growing like crazy. New leaves are still growing from the top of the cane. I'm giving it water almost everyday and balanced fertilizer once a week.
