need help with regrowing stems in dendrobium

[rbarata]

Is it possible for you to post a photo? I am trying to see what you mean in your description and in my mind if you pot it in it probably start new growths in weeks.

As propagation, there's a method (that I never tried) that consists in cutting the pbulbs in a way that each piece has two "nodes" and put them in a "bed" of sphagnum or any other water retentive material. Basically is the same as Ray's advice but with the "bed" twist.
