If the plant has been excessively fed for a while, It may take many months at the lower rate before the bloom-quashing will subside.

Oh my! Thanks for that info. You're awesome. I will adjust and see how they react. I must be overfeeding my dendrobiums as well! lol. However, they seem to thrive and bloom bountifully regardless. Thanks much!
