DENDROBIUM NOID CONFUSION!!!

[shahrezsyed]

HI,
I recently posted a thread about how I got 3 dend. keikis and potted them up, etc but its been almost 2 weeks now and there has been NO root or leaf growth. Its just not growing. Its like its dead but its not!
It doesn't have any flowers on obviously but i wanted to know if there's any way to ID it generally just to know if its going through its winter rest. Because temperatures have been dropping fairly rapidly here. High: 75 Low: 59 atm. Im going to be mounting them tomorrow btw.
If it turns out that they do need a winter rest then how do i keep them alive because they were already dehydrated then they are single pseudobulbs no new growths, etc so they don't have much food stored in them either...

If these are small keikies that you are planning on mounting, you will need to spray/mist everyday. Babies don't generally fall into the winter rest. Do you have a photo? Have you used any KLN?

Can you post photos of the plants? Might be at least able to tell the types that definitely do not need a winter rest

will post soon. Haven't gotten a hold of kln yet. Have ordered both kln and superthrive. Haven't arrived yet. btw misting spraying everyday is not a problem. It rains a lot here and the humidity is never lower than 70%. Its 88% right now.

btw those scorch marks are VERY old. Ignore them.

you have a hard cane den commonly refereed to as a Den_Phal since one of its ancestors is Dendrobium phalaenopsis. It does not get a winter rest. You can reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer on all plants during the winter when growing is slower.

You will probably not see root or leaf growth until late next summer. Most orchids have a growing season once a year.
