Do you have anything to hang them from? I have most of my Dendrobiums wired. I take a long, stiff wire, about the equivalent of a coat hanger, which would probably do, and bend one end into a squared off U shape. One leg of the U is the long end of the wire, the other leg of the U is about an inch long. The bottom of the U is exactly the length of the distance between oposite drainage holes of the Den's pot. Then, after repotting, I stick the long end of the U up thru one dranage whole of the pot and pull it all the way up threw the pot until I can put the other leg of the U thru the opposing drainage hole. Now, bend the top of the long leg into a hook, and tie the canes to the long leg. The only complication is that you should sterilizr this wire, as it may stab a root while being pushed thru the pot. I use new wire which helps. Next time I am in the greenhouse, I will take a picture of one of these. Cynthia, Prescott, AZ
