Mine has just quit after about 4 months of blooming. I noticed the it only
blooms on the hanging canes. Maybe that just indicates age (we all do that a
bit with age). I have it potted in peanuts and sphagnum and hanging. I think
a lot of orchids prefer to be in the breeze and it makes a lot more bench
space. I just poke holes in regular pots and use 3-wire hangers. The hangers
provide a means of support too if you need it. I use the smallest guage hole
punch from Staples (1/8" I think). I don't think any reinforcement is needed
as the orchid is usually holding on for itself before any plastic holes give
out. I've never had that happen anyway. So, I agree that hanging somehow is
the best for this plant.

We have this in bloom also. It is quite rangy. The pseudobulbs tend to
fall over, for sure. I wonder if it would be happier mounted in a basket,
or on a piece of hardwood. Love the flower, and it just stays in bloom
forever.

These attractive dendrobium flowers last a very long time. I can't seem
to get more than one or 2 flowers/ stem. It also seems not to bloom
unless the stem is hanging much as some vandas do.
