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?

Norm- Where I am, the humidity is LOW- The medium dries out fast because of it. When I water in the a.m.- by the time I'm home- the medium has dried completely! If we have a couple of cloudy days, I don't water as much, because they won't dry out. If you came home to a completely dry pot each day, you would water each day, too! .....
