Pinkdaybreak Hello everyone,
I cannot believe how much I have learned about orchids in the past 24 hours! I still have a ton of questions. I know now that I have two Phalaenopsis and two Dendrobiums.
My first questions are about the Dendrobiums. Mine have about three or four canes on each plant. Do I cut the canes back after they have finished blooming? I have just left them as they are and one has developed a Keikis (off shoot). The Keikis has tiny roots on it and I have no idea how to take it off or what to plant it in. How long does it have to grow before it will produce any flowers? Each plant has a stalk that has leaves on the top of the cane, but the other canes are bald. What do I do with each cane? As you can see I am just full of questions.
I have a screened in porch that gets the afternoon sun. I was thinking about putting the orchids out there in the summer, but I am not sure which orchids would work best there. I am open to any ideas. I might just have to buy some new ones if I do not have the correct kind.
I am eagar to hear from my new orchid buddies. Thanks, Pinkdaybreak |
