So this is my first winter with a couple of deciduous dendrobiums. I have a dendrobium parishii and a dendrobium cucullatum. I have kept both of then pretty much dry over the winter with the exceptions of a few spritzes here and there. The parishii was kept colder (45-50F nights) than the cucullatum (55-60F night) as per the culture instructions I received. The pbulbs on both are looking pretty nice so I know they are still alive. But there are no buds on either. Over the weekend I have seen both plants being sold, by local growers, in bud. What gives? I was thinking I would see some activity in January. Now it is mid-February and there is nothing. :-(
I suspect that I just need to be patient but I also want to make sure that I am not going to kill them waiting for buds.
I also have a dendrobium kingianum, which received similar care to the parishii. No buds on it but it never seemed to stop growing either. Not sure what to make of that?
Any insight/words of wisdom are welcomed. Thanks!
