The fact that it didn't have many leaves to begin with would have made me :scratchhead: . Latouria Dens are nice bushy plants with lots of leaves. The fact that many of the pbulbs have no leaves tells me this plant has been doing this for a while.

Frankly I'd send the whole lot back and ask for a full refund.
Terri,
I didn't know enough about it to know it should have been bushy. I am still a newbie in so many ways. It was a large order.
I had a thread with pictures of some of them. What do you think of the rest?

Thank you for your help.

One of the plants from this order started blooming over the weekend. It is pretty and fragrant.

Hmm, if it was a large order I would send back the ones that obviously have an issue, and put the seller on notice that if anything else develops those weird markings you will be sending those back as well.

I think the Catts look OK. As I said in the other thread they tend to look kind of ratty anyway. I would keep all of these new ones away from the rest of your collection until you are reasonably sure they are free of pests and disease. You won't know if they are virused unless you test.

Have you ordered from this grower before?

Terri,
Thank you for the tips.

No, first order.

I just went through more of your pictures and left my opinion.

I would like to know who the seller is so I can avoid.

The fact that most of the plants do not look great to me, and that they tried to cover up the crappy dendrobium with a terrible excuse blaming the shipping stress makes me questions their business ethic.
