I now have several nobile type dends. I know the basics for maintaining
them, but I am a little concerned about one of them. It has just dropped
the last of its flowers, but it does not appear to have any new growth other
than two keikis. Is there anything I can do to stimulate the production of
new pseudobulbs? Although two others are presently in bloom, all of the
others have new growth.

Also, with these dends, what are the limits on how often they can be induced
to bloom. For example, living in Ontario, I can arrange for two periods of
quite cool temperatures, at which time I can easily arrange for them to be
dry too. Obviously these periods would be six months apart: spring and
autumn. Would they be able to complete a cycle of new peudobulbs produce
and flowering in six months, or do they really really require the better
part of a year to grow followed by a resting period of several months of
cool dry conditions? In other words, just how short can these two phases
be? I understand the origin of the annual cycle, but in cultivation just
how adaptable can they be?

Cheers,

Ted
