Default Sphag and Bag - When is enough

I tried the Spag and Bag from http://www.firstrays.com on 3 dendrobiums
that did not appear to be growing new roots, and were going downhill.

2 died but one is doing quite well. At what point should I repot though? A
picture link is attached. Size can be estimated based onthe standard plant
tag and the Floral wire in the picture

Thanks

My general rule-of-thumb is the same as for keikies - it's ready to pot up
when the plant has about 3"-4" of total new root length.

Bruce, if it were mine I would pot it up but make sure you stake it & tie up
the canes, so that it doesn't
move about in the pot. Also don't over pot & use a mix that drains well.
