Labelled as a Cambria, this produced nice flowering spikes for the first couple of years. It got more and more squashed and 'wonky' in its pot and the most recent flowering spike was stunted, curly and had only a small single flower.





Having done a bit of research I was hoping to split it but was a bit surprised at the roots when I took it out of the pot - not quite what I expected.

Can anyone tell me what it is or, more importantly, what I should do with it? Should I just put it back in a pot a bit straighter, or something more complicated?

And as a slight aside, could this (or say a phalaenopsis0 live in a jar like in this pic - and would it need compost etc. ?



Looking forward to any help which will enable me to get these roots back into some compost
Thanks in advance.
