Would this Den superbum with all the keiki's be
because this plant requires a dry rest & I tried it in Semi Hydro? Could it be because the roots rotted out & it's trying to propagate? -- Cheers Wendy No Spam Email Address Invalid |

Probably the second one. I've had a couple dendrobiums put out a big flush
of keikeis when the main plant was about to croak. Is it just the roots that are rotten, or are any of the bulbs rotting at the base? I think I heard once that you can grow the nobile types hydroponically and still get blooms if you don't fertilize them in the winter. -danny "wendy7" wrote in message ...

Thanks Danny, Yes the canes were starting to rot so I have washed them in a
Physan solution, & laid them out on a bed of sphagnum moss & a springling of charcoal & root hormone? -- Cheers Wendy No Spam Email Address Invalid danny wrote: Probably the second one.

I am not a fan of dens, so have no direct experience upon which to comment,
but based upon the pic, I'd guess it's a last-ditch survival effort before the plant dies. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies.

Wendy, my suberbums both keiki like crazy, but not quite like that. I do
know that it's not unusual for some of the canes to die back. I just cut them off. Diana "wendy7" wrote in message ...
