Dendrobium aggregatum
Ah, Mariana, it's you! Little lindleyi is a hurting puppy, huh? The back
bulbs (yellow/shrivelled) probably ought to come off the plant. They look soft to me. Are they? If so, they are not well at all. If it were my plant, given that there are no leaves, I'd take the healthiest portion of it and do a spag and bag until it puts out a new growth. I'd bet money that it would do so.

Dendrobium aggregatum
Hi there Mariana, You have probably researched these two names, I get more
confused when I go to J. Phfal's site, one & the same right? The winter rest is the key, I think? http://www.andysorchids.com/SearchResults.asp http://www.orchidspecies.com/denlindleyi.htm See how many times a week Andy waters his plant on a stick!!! If I had your plant, I would put the cork mount in a clay pot, soak for an hour then hang it up high for light & breeze, then when it gets really cold, stop watering. If it survives the winter, I would soak it in some bloom boost & water 2 to 3 times a week in the heat of the summer. I have killed one & just purchased one this year that was in spike! Good luck, Cheers Wendy "Jane Doe" wrote in message news:3u4Vi.237$a01.7@trnddc06... For those of you who read the rec.gardens.orchid. Please see topic Dendrobium lindleyi Mariana |

Thank you again Diana.
None of the pseudobulbs are soft, they are all in decent shape but I guess I should cut the yellow ones off. I will try the sphagnbag method though I do wonder if in this particular case it is the appropriate time. Thank you again! -Mariana "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... Ah, Mariana, it's you!

Hi Wendy and thank you for the tip. I will save it, and if the sphagnbag
does not work, I'll try your method. Thank you! Mariana p.s. yes, it is the same plant as the one in the orchidspecies link. "Wendy7" wrote in message ...

Please see topic Dendrobium lindleyi Mariana Hi Mariana, I would say you have kept the plant to dry,a winter rest does`nt mean no water,especially if it is mounted.I still water mine but less so and it still flowers.By the look of your plant i think you will struggle to get it back and if you do it will take a while.You maybe better off looking for a replacement!I have got more ruthless over the years and tend not to waste time with struggling plants and bin them!

Never mind the normal cycle that this plant usually wants. What it needs right now is a new p-bulb with a leaf on it, and I really think that the spag method will work. I've taken bits of things that I valued and been shocked at how well they do when given the chance. Patience is key! Diana "Jane Doe" wrote in message news:866Vi.23219$eD3.5702@trnddc03...

The yellow and shrivelling do indicate dehydration, but most plants will
recover from that. More troubling are the brown streaks/sections on the pbs that are still mostly green. Not sure from the pic, but I don't see much in the way of roots coming from those mostly-green pbs, either. If you really want to save the plant, I think that after you trim, you should give it a fungicide soak. Kenni "Jane Doe" wrote in message news:3u4Vi.237$a01.7@trnddc06...
