Shell,

I saw your photos in abpo before I read your post here. Did respond over
there, but from what I see of the plants, they are normal Dends. A
community pot contains seedlings that have been grown in flask; the next
step after compot is individual pots. You won't find blooming in a compot,
as the plants are too young. As to dividing the plants you have, I wouldn't
just yet. When dividing, it's a good idea to give each division 4
pseudobulbs (the canes are the pseudobulbs in this case).

Take care.
