I have ordered many bare rooted orchid plants in the past & have

Now my question is, if the plant has not viable roots, mostly
shrivelled
canes, in this case a dendrobium, with buds, would it be better to remove
the buds to give the plant a chance to grow?
I have posted a pic on abpo.


Well, I can't get abpo, but make sure you are removing flower buds,
and not vegetative ones. Other than that, probably not a bad idea. I'd
put that plant in a nice humid place, without too much light. Maybe
laying on a bed of sphagnum moss.

Yeah, that sounds good, Wendy. Put it in a nice dark room with a bed. Give
it a few cocktails. Maybe Dyna-Gro on the rocks? Who knows, something may
come of it...maybe keikis???!!
