I live in Southern California - near Redlands. I recently bought a stunning Dendrobium Chaopraya in Oceanside, Ca, where it was propigated in an orchid house. When I bought it, the stems were strong and full, now, a week later, (meticulously following the instructions given to me), the stems dont' seem as full and have long, length-wise ridges in them. I don't want to fuss, and I don't want to over-water, but I don't want it to slowly die a torturous death! Please advise me about what's normal for this plant and what to do to keep it healthy and happy!!!!
