Dendrobium nobile with premature terminal leaf Male
Default Dendrobium nobile with premature terminal leaf

After it finished flowering mid February , I divided it into two. By the time it was divided, it had already started new growth at points where it was bent due to my mishandling. The division with these two growths are in the photo below. It's been fertilised weakly and weekly with a nitrogen rich fertiliser since I divided it.

This week, one of the canes decided it was enough growing up for a reason I don't know. As you see topmost leaf appears to be a terminal one, although it needs to be taller to be a flowering cane. Moreover, a hot summer is on the way, there's not enough time for me to induce the plant to flower.

What shall I do to have flowers in the pot in next flowering season? I'm worried that there'll be many keikis around (which is not so manageable) with no new growth at the bottom.

The plant is noid, looks like a dendrobium spring dream.

It looks good - I don't know whether or not it has finished growing, but there's nothing to be done about it if it IS.

I have gotten blooms on quite small canes of a potted nobile keiki, so it's possible yours is big enough to bloom - but I wouldn't expect blooms until the next bloom season (next spring) - but, if it's a hybrid, it's possible it could bloom sooner.

Thank you for the comment and photo edit

I'll just wait if any new growth shows up and switch the fertiliser to 4-5-6, as I use with my phals. Maybe lowering nitrogen will decrease the probability of having a cane filled with keikis instead of flowers.
