I agree that the dendrobium is probably rotting. Although I'm wondering if it is something else that is affecting it. The reason why I think this is because I have two dendrobiums and both are in moss and I have cared for both of them the same, but there is only one that is sick. Could this plant have a fungus of some sort that could have been nesting in the moss? Well, Thank you all so very much for your advise and help and I'm going to do my best to save this dendrobium. I guess the last option is for me to get the upper part of the cane to keiki. I am a beginner, but I guess we all have to start somewhere.
Thanks again! Wish me Luck! Lynnette
