Nobile Den. NOID bloom and question
Here is a picture of a NOID Nobile type dendrobium that I got last year in bloom. It has all of 2 flowers now, so I obviously still have not figured out how to bloom these guys properly. I have another one with 3 buds. I think I am letting them get too dry in the winter. I increased their water from none all winter last year to a few light waterings and mistings this winter. I think it will be a bit more next year and see what happens. This one bloomed on the cane that was full of blooms last year when I bought it. There are 2 other mature canes with no buds. But in one of the photos I attached, it shows that the two flowers are coming from a tiny keiki on the cane. Has anyone else ever seen this? The flowers are a good size too (about 2 1/2 inches across) and the keiki is tiny but with inch long roots. Too bad the other canes aren't as eager to bloom as this tiny keiki!!
