Cycd. Taiwan Gold 'Orange' Dropped Leaves Early

[roblaur]

So I had left my orchids in the care of my SO while I was out of the country for about six weeks. When i left, my Cycnodes was in active growth and very green. When I got back two weeks ago, all the leaves had dropped and it looks dormant. I suspect it went too dry too long, triggering dormancy early. Most of my orchids looked pretty dehydrated when I got back

I assume I should stop watering now, right? Or should I continue in case a flower spike develops? And is there any chance it producing flowers this year? The psuedobulb looks fat and healthy, though just a smidge smaller than last year's. But I'm not sure if it started to spike before or after dropping the leaves last year, as I purchased it in bud with no leaves.

You could probably give it one last watering since the weather is still warm. Otherwise treat it as dormant.

Will do, thanks Steve.

Do you think it will have any chance of blooming?

If it is mature size, then it could bloom.
