Dendrobium Kingianum ...HELP !

[NeoNJ]

I've had this Mounted Dendrobium kingianum for over a year. I've read various and conflicting cultural requirements for this orchid and don't really know what do to know with it. I read that it is supposed to be one of the easiest Dendrobiums to grow and bloom. Well, not to me !!!

I gave it a "Cool Dry Rest" which is what I read you should do this time of year. It looks horrible. So I watered it .... many of the leaves turned yellow and fell off. The plant is not growing, no new roots, nothing ....
I'm ready to trash the plant in the nearest trash bin.

It's growing in a windowsill with a Southeast exposure. Since its mounted, it hangs on the inside wall of the windowsill.


Can anyone give me some advice on this one ...?

Thanks.
