are my aridang dendrobium buds healthy ??

[manisha]

Hi,

I recently i purchased green aridang den. but buds for more than 2 weeks are not showing any improvements.

Please look at pics attached, are buds drying or is it going in dormant stage ? Should i cut the den branch so that new growth will come ?

thanks

It looks like that spike has finished blooming - those don't look like buds, but rather what's left after blooms have dropped ...

but they haven't blommed..

It must have bloomed, or developed and dropped buds before you got it

Looks as if it has completed a cycle. I have found my Dens grow numerous new roots before going into spike and later budding.

now i have cut the bud spike as they seem to be drying..
Thanks to all of you..

Buds will look like this

It looks like yours is a phalaenanthe type Den. It's likely new growth will start soon, if it hasn't already
