I have ordered many bare rooted orchid plants in the past & have
been lucky enough to grow some!
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???!!
