| I had this plant quite a few years ago and it was mounted on cork. This Dendrobium needs a dry, cool, winter rest (I think I withheld water for about 1-2 months). It also needs bright light to flower well. Your's probably isn't growing now because this should be its rest period. I would leave it in the pot until you start to see new growth/roots developing this spring and then mount it to cork. BN |

| They usually bloom in the spring after the winter rest. I would start to water mine when the buds would be half grown. BN |
