Nobile Dendrobium question

[Singingirl96]

I have a dendrobium nobile that hasn't been watered in weeks. It now has several spikes throughout... I know.. awesome right? But my question is... do I begin watering it now that it has spikes? or should I wait until the blooms open?
Thank you everyone.

If you are referring to new green shoots, then start watering. If you are referring to flower buds along the dormant canes, then hold off till they are at least 1/2" long. When you resume watering, only water a couple times per week. Let it get dry between waterings. Then slowly resume normal watering by increasing frequency each week until you are up to daily (or whatever you used to do.)

Ross Thanks.

I only water then once a week usually though... so I'm a little confused. Some of the flower buds are over one inch long already.

Then start watering more regularly, like twice a week or three times a week.
