Dendrobium Recovery: From Dry Sheaths to Green Canes—Now Induce Blooms

You Saved It! Now Trigger Flowers

Canes were brown-sheathed, now green. Winter survival with 8–10 day watering in north window = successful rest period.

Next Steps for Blooming

1. Don't increase water/feed yet—wait for NEW GROWTH.
2. Then: Increase watering + start feeding.
3. Increase LIGHT significantly—gradually to near full morning sun in summer.

Identify Your Type

• Flowers ON CANES = nobile type (cool grower).
• Flowers ON SPIKES = Phalaenopsis type (warm grower, includes New Guinea types).

Troy, you've mastered the hard part (rest). Now give it light and watch the show begin.
