There will always be a number of dying roots on plugs. They are baby roots like baby teeth. When they serve their purpose they fall off. Roots on newly re-potted plugs need live only a few months. |
Thanks, Jerry. That's good to know.

More light, more water.- Less light, less water.  |
Patti, I'm a little puzzled by your watering program. I thought Dendrobiums need to go dry between waterings. Mine too is in a small pot, I've got good humidity, and days are now getting into the 70s, but I'm leery of watering as much as you (particularly since I had thought I rotted most of my roots away). What do know that I don't that makes you brave with the water?
