Dendrobium nobile keikis

[theorchidapartment]

This summer, I rescued a very sad Dendrobium nobile that had one healthy cane and a bunch of rootless canes with keikis. (Potted in soil, oof!)

The first question I have is about a winter rest for the single healthy cane. The plant it came from was definitely blooming size, but will a single survivor cane bloom? And if not, is there a benefit to watering less and stopping fertilizer? It was young enough for its roots to survive the soggy media and its roots continue to grow in a new pot and bark mix.

The other question is regarding the keikis: I've separated some of the more developed ones from their canes and am interested in mounting them. They range in size from 2–4" tall and are in a small container with sphagnum moss, taking up valuable shelf space!! I finally got some cedar grilling planks to use as mounts and am wondering how small I should cut the boards, whether I should mount the keikis pendant or upright, etc.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
