My Dendrobium heterocarpum....what happened?

[DenmanNJ]

2-days ago I received a mounted BS Dendrobium heterocarpum. Yesterday I noticed that the canes were all turning yellow. I have no clue as to what happened. This is a shade loving Dendrobium which I have under my patio awning. Is this Dendrobium going to be ok ?

A picture will be very helpful.

I've seen nobile types turn yellow with too much light or heat. I'm guessing it got too hot in transit. The plant may grow fine. Dendrobiums need large amounts of water when growing, especially mounted.

I would contact the seller and send a photo.

Thank You .. I've contacted the seller and sent them a photo of the Dendrobium. I was just worried that this Dendrobium was going to die since all 4 canes are yellow. I do believe you are correct, it was the heat in transit that was the problem.

I think it will survive and grow just fine. I've seen a lot of yellow Dendrobiums.

Ono of the nice things about Dens (and other orchids) that tend to lose leaves in the fall is that in the spring, they do new growth as a matter of course. And tend to bloom on old leafless canes. So even with abuse, they'll be fine. And I think just keep this well watered while the weather is hot (it probably got pretty thirsty in transit) and and give it a little shade. It will be fine.

these guys can handle a lot- i have them in trees around here and they turn yellow, get floppy, and then later they are covered in flowers and keikis.

does not mean yours is not TOO damaged, but they are hardy
