Dendrobium spike

[bdelfiero]

My Dend has finished it's bloom last week and
remain the spike flowerless. Should I cut the spike or just leave it as it is?

Are they going to re-bloom in the future?

Thank you..

I don't think Den spikes grow more flowers but I could be wrong, there are a very wide range of Dens.

I would perhaps leave it to see if it goes brown. If it does then it will not flower again and you can cut it off.

Don't remove the spike. I don't know which Dendrobium it is, but I have a couple of different types of Dendrobium, some do flower on older spikes. As far as I know, they also contain the food for the plant.

Thank you for the info. Maybe I should wait for the spike to turn brown before cutting it off..

I do agree, the spike might contain some food for the plant.
