I am so sorry the pic is sideways.. was in too much of a hurry! :)

Do not cut any canes that are still green. They provide backup nutrients to the growing leads. Some clones of hard-cane Dendrobiums may flower from leafless canes.

Hi they say a pic is worth a thousand words. This is my Den as you can see it has bloomed from a leafless cane. It actually has three spikes all from leafless canes. So you can just leave the canes because it will probly bloom from it. I will post a pic of the entire plant below so you can see what I mean. I hope this will make you feel better. VELLETA.

Picture of entire plant and I have gotton a bloom from each cane that you can see which is a lot.sorry about the pic being sideways, I wanted to get the entire plant and I am using a smartphone. Also its a bit dark because I took it in the night just so you could be more comfortable with yours. :). VELLETA
