Epidendrum?

[harvester2015]

Hi! I've forgot to ask about this orchid. I think it's an Epidendrum. I took the cutting from my grandma's orchid about 3 months ago, but she doesn't know which type of orchid is and I think the orchid was not being cared because the leaves were all yellow and it had a lot of pests. It looks much better now and it's starting to send new roots. The orchid where I took the cutting was like 6 foot tall and from what I can remember I never saw it in bloom. I put it on clay pellets since it was growing as an epiphyte. It only has grew a couple of leaves since the time I have it and now it's developing more roots. Any advice for a better caring?

I can't say 100% but it looks a lot like my epidendrum.

Looks to me most like Rhynchorides or something else in the Vanda alliance.

Those fat roots does not look like Epidendrum. Looks to me like Arachnis sp or a hybrid.

I vote on the vandaceous side, as well.

Great observation on the roots - that'll teach me lol! Thanks for more education.

Possibly a renanthera. They flower from nodes about three pairs of leaves below the top of the p[lant -so there need to be enough older leaves below that point efore you get a spike. Maybe not quite big enough yet.
They like lots of light. Most have blood red flowers.
But plants looking like this are very common in the orchid world ! I could name a dozen....

Looking some pictures in the Internet this orchid really looks like an Arachnis or Renanthera. As I said, my grandma had this orchid for years but I never had seen it blooming even when the plant was that big. I'm watering it daily on the roots and using a balanced fertilizer (20-20-20) once a week per instructions of the fertilizer. Don't know if I'm doing wrong.

Judging from the root system, I would rule out Epidendrum at least compared to mine.

IMO an Arachnis or Renanthera or a hybrid of the two.
