Hello - i'm new to this board, and pretty new to orchids.
Anyways with my new obsession with orchids my girlfriend just bought me a dendrobium. I'm not sure what type. It was in pretty bad shape when I got it, the flowers were really droopy and the bark was extremely dry. So i watered it with a very dilute fertilizer (20-10-20). Anyways the flowers are looking a lot better now and the last bud is very slowly opening. However, over the past few days the top leave on the non blooming stem is turning yellow and brown. I also notice that a few of the roots looked burned at their tips.
Now, i'm not sure if I should keep watering it or not. I'm not even sure if it's a decidious type dendrobium or not.
Help me out..
Here's some pictures of it.
