Unknown new growth on Dendrobium Victoria Reginae

[Cearbhael]

My Dendrobium has started a new growth…at the bottom of the newest pseudo pod. It “looks” like a new root for a phalenopsis, but we are talking Dendrobium with thin white roots. It has flowered already in May-Jun and winter is arriving in a couple of months…is this the start of a new pseudo pod? It seems to me that should rise out of media?? Any help here is welcome!

Pseudobulbs, not pods.
To me it looks like the beginning of a new bulb. Little vegetative growths can pop up almost anywhere on this type of Dendrobium.
It could even form its own roots later on.

Hmmm, should I build up the media so it can set roots?? I would love to give it all the support it needs to grow strong and produce more blooms! It currently has 4 pseudo bulbs, all hail and healthy!

Sorry, I know that…brain fart here!

Personally, I wouldn't build up the medium. The root will find its way into the substrate with no problem.
