Hi Holly

Looks like an Australian dendrobium hybrid with some D. kingianum in its
heritage.

I would pot it up into a larger pot and let it spread out. I wouldn't break
it up as you will get quite a good specimen plant over the next few years.

Now would be a good time to repot - spring in NH. Re the keikis, once they
have some reasonably sized roots, pick them off and pot up. They make
wonderful presents.

Don't have any experience with S/H query - perhaps Ray can advise. In
nature they can experience long periods of drought so the plants are used to
receiving no water for extended periods. I grow most of my native
dendrobiums outside under a jacaranda tree except for the more
subtropical/tropical species. My D. kingianums are mounted on horizontal
tree fern slabs enabling them to spread out as they grow. Avoids having to
repot them but then again, I don't have to bring them inside during winter.

i'm not sure what it is - the id tag doesn't list a name,
but here is a link to a pic:

There are different kinds of dendrobiums, I would never offer any advice
without at least some vague idea of which ones you're dealing with.
