How long should I give the canes a chance to develop new roots?

Dendrobium backbulbs will frequently throw new shoots which will root. You
can stake it in a small clay pot (for the weight) with a well drained mix
and only mist until new growth shows. Alternately you can lie the canes
down on a bed of spaghnum. Many joints should throw keikis (new young
plants) which can then be detached and grown on their own. If the canes
are yellow or soft just toss them as they won't grow anything.
