Default More Sphag and Bag questions

Let's try this with a little less mania and a little more grammar

I have a dendrobium that I have killed all the pseudobulbs (correct word?).
It still has several, long healthy white roots at the base. Would it be a
good idea to bag this one or just keep watering and fertilizing in the pot?


I have another Den I have brought back to life using Spag and Bag that has
about 9 roots on it all around, 1/8 - 1/4 inch long. The the plant itself
has
grown to be 6 inches long. Time to pot it? It seems I would want longer
roots first. If so how do I accomplish it? Put it in a shadier spot? It is
inside
on the west side of the house with very light indirect light.

dens have canes; first plant, i would put a bag over it and skip the
fertilizer; back it off from strong light for a while and see if it
pups.

2d one, i agree, it needs longer roots, but it may not grow them while
it's happy in its bag; maybe pot up, but keep a bag over it for a few
months more.


or wait for the true den experts in the room to weigh in.

Canes! Thank you. Ever sit there for a few days with a word right in the
front of your mind but you couldn't tease it out? I feel stupid but Hey, I
couldn't get it out!
