Dendrobium Fungus & Rot: Emergency Surgery with Cinnamon

Critical Condition

Leaves gone, one cane rotted, other soft at base, roots gummy. Likely fungal rot from late-day misting. Survival unlikely but try:

1. Sterile single-edge razor blades (flame or TSP soak).
2. Cut all infected tissue + healthy margin. Check cut for dark rings—cut more until clean.
3. Remove mushy roots.
4. Dust all cuts with powdered cinnamon (mild fungicide/bactericide).
5. Clean pot, repot in fresh orchid mix.

Viable "eyes" (bud-like swellings at cane base) needed for regrowth.
