I'm no dendrobium expert, so others can probably give better advice, but I
suspect that the keiki production without other new growth is a sign of
stress, probably due to being too wet in the sphagnum.

On the assumption that they have decent roots already, I'd mount the kiekies
separately from the mother plant, with only a small amount of moss over the
roots - they'll outgrow it soon enough anyway.

Hi All!, I need some help with my Dendrobium, it has just one "branch",
with
3 keikis....it is potted with spanghum moss. I ve heard it will be better
mounted....and I would like to have some indications how to do it. I have
a
nice piece of bark I can use..but what kind of material shoul i use? Also,
now that is growing these keikis, is it a good time to do it?

I was thinking to take all this branch (with keikis) and mounted paralel
to
the bark pice i have, and use spanghum to cover the roots. Should also fix
some spanghum around the keikis?

Thanks
