I have this Dendrobium (no ID, to me looks like Dendrobium Blue Sky) really long canes, big leaves, small/medium flowers in long stems (about 15/20 flowers each stem) Ok so the thing is that this plant was a gift, a classmate got a cutting from her sister's plant and gifted it to me. It was rather small so I planted it in a small plastic pot (4 in) then it grew & grew, so I tried to replant it on a bigger pot but the roots were too attatched to the plastic (this taught me to preffer terracotta pots that in this case I can just break if needed repotting...) Bottom line I couldnt get it out without damaging it so I made some cuttings in the plastic & planted the pot inside the newer one (also plastic, big oops again) and cover with the medium. I used to live in a very humid area so I was told the most adequate medium was stone/gravel. The thing is, now 4 years later my Dendrobium with 20 inch long canes is still on that 6 inch plastic pot, it blooms regularly I cant complain, it blooming most of the year and the flowers last a month or so. So in general the plant muat be healthy, but it looks ridiculous in that small pot, and I am also concerned for its future. Should I repot? And since it flowers so much it is almost impossible to see it without blooms, I read one shall not repot while they flower cuz the flowers will fall off, is it true? Atm it is growing 3 flower shoots in a single cane just after the last flower fell from the previous 2 shoots.
