Dendrobium Yellowing Leaves with New Cane: Watering Through Transition

Evergreen vs. Deciduous

Flowers on spike near cane top = evergreen type. These don't go fully dormant; they semi-rest in winter.

Continue water/feed while new cane grows.
When new cane ≥ old cane height (late fall), reduce watering (don't let bone-dry) and cut fertilizer.
Winter: minimal water, no feed.
Spring: resume as new growth starts.

Cut spent flower spike at base—canes bloom once per spike.

New cane = healthy. Adjust seasonal care to match growth cycle.
